The one thing to ask the place you're renting the kilts from... where were they made? Many places rent Pakistani kilts (which RETAIL for $50 - $140) for the same price as most companies rent traditional 8 Yard Wool kilts made in Scotland or by a trained kiltmaker (which retail for $400 - $700). If you're renting and the cost is about the same, why wouldn't you rent the nicer kilt?

In doing research before starting our rentals, we found that roughly 1/3 of the companies renting kilts were renting inexpensive "casual" type kilts. Great way to make a profit, but poor business practice in our eyes.
