Forgive me if this has been covered before. As of posting I have but one kilt (a Cameron of Erracht Tank I made back in the early 90's) that because of post colon cancer surgery lack of exercise now fits like a very tight glove. I've convinced the Mrs that the purchase of an inexpensive kilt at this time as a stopgap fits in the budget (while I wear the kilts in the family when it comes to finance issues she wears the pants!).
Here is my problem I have: I am a proud Cameron and would like a Clan tartan kilt, but almost none of the ventors who sell in the $100-$150 (US) range of "economy" kilts have Cameron tartans available (I'm not complaining about vendor inventory, popularity must drive inventory so many other Clans similarly not represented. Why are the tartans in the inventory carried? (One respected company does have a Clan Cameron acrylic available and which I will probably buy, even though it's not my favorite clan sett.) I really like the Cameron Hunting but those variants are apparently not available in PV or Acrylic. Everyone seems to carry Wallace, are there more Wallaces than Camerons? Maybe all the other Camerons only buy high end tanks and never think inexpensive. (And yes, I've looked on eBay.)
I realize that those of us who believe that it's nice to have a clan connection on your kilt may not be the majority here, but it would be nice to see a greater variety of tartan options in cheaper models.
If there are others out there who want to get a clan kilt in an economy model but can't find one maybe we could form a community group.
Thanks to all for listening to my rant.
