Very true, however...
As a traditionalist, I find the ever increasing cost of these garments troubling. Since I bought my first heavyweight kilt, the replacement price tag has risen nearly 20% and, no doubt, justifiably so. Practically speaking, the 8yd / 16oz kilt is now easily beyond the reach of many people. Now that better made and quite respectable alternatives are coming onto the market, puting that expensive traditional on the road daily is no longer necessary.
I'm a traditionalist but also a pragmatist and openly admit that over the past year or so, I've softened my views on modern kilts. In fact, I see a couple of them as possible future aquisitions. Yes, traditionals can take the punishment but, despite the per diem, I've been getting the urge to step out from behind the tartan shield and get a bit more adventurous.
YEEE-HAAAAHHH!!!
