Greetings! I’ve been looking at ways to feed the kilt habit on a budget, and ex-hire kilts appear to be one way to go. Some questions:
1. Are these generally low-quality mass manufactured kilts (i.e.- no stabilization, cheap wool, spotty construction, etc), or are there real deals to be had?
2. How can you tell a quality garment from a picture alone? What should be looked for?
3. Generally, how heavily used are these items? Hired until the threads pop then sold, or just rotated to keep stock fresh?

Thanks in advance!
