You are absolutely right and you have some good points.
This kilt is one of my first and cheapest. It is a PVC kilt - not acryllic as most cheap kilts - as far as I can judge. The finish is far from being perfect, however.
It is a 4 yard kilt - at the maximum. The kilt shop (Tartanwear-direct in Glasgow) does not exist any longer but for the £39 I paid it was about all right.
I very seldom wear it. The Royal Stewart tartan might be a little bit too much connected with kilted skirts, I'm afraid and the colors are too loud for my taste. They are more intense red than rendered in the picture, as you suggest.
But for just knocking about it is OK to me - sometimes.
