    The short answer is "yes", and it is an experience not to be missed. Early on there were no "off the shelf" kilts; you either wore hand-me-downs or went to your kilt maker to be fitted. While I can appreciate that the "kilt-in-a-box" has made the kilt wearing experience more widely accessible due to its reduced cost, it seems to me that it has also made those kilts less "special"-- like a pair of trousers bought at Sears these kilts are merely a "garment", and are not treated with the same reverence? respect? that a fully tailored kilt receives from its owner.
