    Knoxy,

    May I please offer a word of caution.

    Please do a little research before you commit to a purchase. Just because a kilt has been in a hire fleet does not always insure that it is a first quality kilt. In fact, if you thimk about it, some times the kilts can be of a lesser quality. It would just be a matter of economics. Some companies could put lesser quality kilts in their rental fleets knowing that they will be trashed and then will sold off/rotated every couple of years. The rental fees pay for the kilt and the sale is pure profit.

    This does not mean that an ex-rental kilt is of lower quality. Just that you need to be able to tell the difference to make an informed decision.

    Visit a kilt shop where you can see kilts being made. Learn what a first quality kilt is and how to tell it from another.

    A little research now can save you possible frustration, dissapointment, and perhaps some money in the long run.

    There are some very good deals to be had out there for those who know what they are looking at.

    I wear the kilt because:
    Swish + Swagger = Swoon.
