Or save the $150, add a wee bit more to it, and you can have a nice 4-yard box-pleated kilt from our own Matt Newsome, kiltmaker and curator of the Scottish Tartans Museum:

My frugal Scottish grandmother always said, "good things come to those who wait" -- If you really want a traditional, then you will be willing to save up for it -- it makes it even more special when you do get it.
