Personally, if I were to pay myself for my time spent doing it, I would get a FAR better bargain just ordering a set of 9 thrifty kilts from Stillwater, or even some Gold Bros. kilts (yeah, yeah, I know).

Edit: Just checked Stillwater's website. A Thrifty kilt can be had for $28.95. Cheap as Borsch! And you have a real kilt... In a real tartan... Surely you can't beat THAT.

Result: Everyone will look GREAT, the kilts will last a LOT longer than 3 days, you may end up with some kilt converts from your groomsmen, who may actually start wearing one, and even if no one does, they will have some resell-ability on eBay or Craigslist or similar.

If you just whack something together from some plaid cloth.... I guarantee it'll take time, won't look right, and when it's all over and done with, it'll just get chucked in the trash (because you sure won't want to wear it again, and the re-sell-ability will be nil).
Lol there are only a few problems with this! I am looking to spend less that 50 bucks, probably at max! You do prove some good points, however, but regardless of what happens they will get to wear real kilts in my wedding so hopefully no matter how "thrifty" I get, they will still get to see the real thing in action.

And honestly, non-tartan crap cloth getting chucked in the trash doesn't bother me too much...although, I won't want to give kilties a bad rap. I don't think I will, however, as we will be in the woods I believe for the entire trip...unless there are any kilted birdwatchers we should be fine.

I don't know, decisions! Decisions! DECISIONS!!!! lol
