Being able to purchase anything but a tank is a very recent phenomenon, hence I've always bought the best believing in the adage that "the quality remains long after the price is forgotten." When you consider that a totally bespoke regulation doublet from a top Scottish tailor will cost nearly US $1600, and a kilt will cost between US $500 and US $700, it does sound like a lot of money-- in fact, it is a lot of money. But, if you spread that out over ten years, it works out to about $230 per year, or what you'd pay to rent formal attire twice a year. In the long run, buying the best is worth it.
