well then, just to be contrary...
If you plan on buying a number of kilts over time, by all means get the SWK Thrifty.
I just bought one, and find it an amazingly good kilt for $30!
It's well made, comfortable, and light enough for summer hiking and goofing around in. I love my good wool kilts, but I will not be wearing them for yard work.
The other advantage to having a couple of Thrifty kilts, is that you will have some "loaners" on hand. If a friend needs a little convincing, toss him a kilt without worrying too much how it is treated.
Either way, you can't go wrong!
enjoy,
Don
