    What amazes and pleases me is that the kilt market is booming due to men with confidence and common sense. Men with cajones have created this kilt market that has vendors importing inexpensive kilts and folks learning how to sew and even taking a whirl at the kiltmaking business themseves.

    While some of it is indeed distasteful, it seems a sign of kilt acceptance that will hopefully stay around for many many years as men find and enjoy FREEDOM!

    I really appreciate your outlook on things sometimes, Ron, and this is one of them. I could not have said that better.

    It only takes the first time to get things started. My first kilt was a ren-faire special. I never wear it, but it started me on the path, and I am here to stay.

    They had real ones in the back, as well as Pakistani knockoffs and Pakistani tartan kilts, that looked like the same ones that were sold at the ren fest last year with the odd inverted buckles. The knockoff uk ones had a much wider apron, but I didn't like the way the lady answered questions.
