I must apologise for my friends across the water, they do get carried away!!!
Is there a website for these kilts? I'm a bit suss about the price too, even in Scotland I saw cheap "kilts" for the tourists that were little more than lightweight skirts.
but let me not judge a matter before I've seen the product.

Guy's the situation is this: My wife has seriously objected to me wearing my amerikilt so much that I have not worn it in the last 8 months. (hence my absense from this forum for a fair while). She thinks I have given up on the idea, WRONG, I am just patiently waiting and watching what is coming on the market in the way of kilts. I was thinking of trying a traditional looking kilt such as the stillwater etc. The stillwater standard will cost me around $130- 140au to get here as opposed to the one from kilted inspirations being around $80-90.
The object of the excersise is to see what her thoughts on a traditional kilt on me are. This way at least if she isnt happy wearing it I havent spent a great deal of cash.
It frustrates me sometimes that she wont accept the kilt wearing thing but I love her too much to really risk starting a big blue over it.
She looks after me in other ways, It was our 11th wedding anniversary last week
and she suggested I go and get myself another motorcycle as she knows I have missed riding, so one cant complain too much.
I feel a bit funny still reading and posting on this board even though I'm
not kilting very much but you are all such a great bunch of guys that i miss reading the stories etc. so if you dont mind I will still call in from time to time.
Take care all. Cheers Andrew

By all means stick around. Sorry your wife doesn't like you wearing kilts but, in all honesty, the marriage is more important than the clothing. Try a more traditional kilt and see what happens. If she still pitches a fit at least you tried.

I would resent having to choose, but if I did have to, I fear the motorcycle would win.
I have been wearing kilts only about 7 years, riding motorcycles for 20. I can't imagine not owning one.
The kilt did win over the bike at my wedding, I wanted my wife and I to leave the wedding on the Harley, but on that day it was definitely more important to wear my kilt.
