As my wife says, is it a want or a need? In that case I guess it would be considered a luxury in most cases. As to wearing it to work what about the basket ball coaches that wear $ 1000.00 suits to jump up and down on the side lines. People watch them are not put out or down. And the trainer that most people wear run $50-150 and they don't have a problem with that. We should not be afraid to wear the kilt at the chance of offending people. Most people would'nt have a clue about the price of a kilt or acessories. If anything you would just get the normal odd looks and comments about being in a s***t.
