So here we have a case of many gorgeous kilts, works of art, being worn by X-Markers and others, while a cheap Pakistani kilt with dodgy pleating gets framed for display.
The same happens with pipes! Out at a Highland Games, on a dusty sun-baked field or in the pouring rain, many pipers have in their hands some of the most beautiful and valuable pipes ever made, 1890s Hendersons dripping with hand-engraved sterling silver mounts etc, while people take cheap Pakistani pipes made out of sheesham wood painted black with ugly dull alloy and plastic mounts and hang them on the wall for decoration.
