A $100 price point on a casual kilt to replace a $35 pair shorts will make my wifes head explode! I need to get something, to start, that is in the same price range as a good pair of golf shorts.

I know that you get what you pay for, that is true in anything, but I am willing to make a cheaper kilt make do while I save for a more expensive one.

Kilt dealers should be like drug dealers... Make the first one cheap to get the customer hooked, then charge the full price ;)
True enough but unlike shorts kilts are adjustable for a 3" waist adjustment. I suppose that you could just machine stitch the pleats from top of the kilt down 7" to make a rudimentary fell. Consider another option in Sport Kilt. Congratulations on the weight loss.
