MacLellan Ancient is available in Lochcarron's 13 oz. Braeriach and 16 oz. Strome Select, as well as the House of Edgar's 13 oz. Mediumweight Old & Rare range. Your best best for a more affordable kilt is a lower yardage one. You can visit my website to see the different options. My prices are in Canadian dollars and I do offer a 10% discount to XMarks members.

Though, I'm obviously a bit biased (), I do think it is worth it. You'll probably eventually find more occasions to wear it as time goes on and you'll also have something to pass on as the kilt will likely last as long as you or longer.
