Well then, basically I got what I was expecting! :-D:-D

I had no illusions that I was buying, or would receive, an 8yd worsted wool traditional kilt. What I expected, and received, was a kilt made from modern materials, machine stitched, well constructed, in a decent weight cloth, and a tartan that I liked for $85 including shipping. Oh, and it arrived in 1 week, which was not part of my decision making process, but a nice bonus. Some of us don't have the financial resources, or desire, to purchase and wear a traditional kilt.

I am glad to see that whoever is actually manufacturing these kilts has been in business for more than 6 months.
