Options for smart but informal

I sometimes have to wear an orange hat with it.
The orange gear is part of a uniform so the "rules" of civilian highland wear don't apply. At least in my opinion.

And yes 1'500$ seems about what you will pay for a chunk of kilt caboodle. Then some people spend that and much more on a watch that is in essence the same as a 70$ swatch in a metall shell.

Compared to that Highland wear does seem more reasonable to me.

It is a significant investment - the kilt alone is the most expensive garment I've ever purchased. But, I wanted the Cunningham tartan, and, perhaps with a few alterations, it should last me a lifetime. At will be far more of a conversation piece than a nice watch....

Even a more modest kilt is quite an investment...plus a sporran, hose, and garters. One thing's for sure--a kilted man is often the most expensively-dressed man in any given room. My kikt was my first made-to-measure garment to boot!

How right you are, exchange rates back in the day made my cheap HoS kilt to my most expensive garement. It's been overtaken now, but is still in the top 3.

Darn those exchange rates!! An attractive price can quickly become a frustrating one.
