My first "tank" will be my xmarks tartan...and I'll wear it with pride, but I suspct only on special occasions.

Echoing what Panache said above...there is definately a place in my wardrobe for cheaper kilts.
I have dress pants I wear when called for, and cheap grungy jeans I wear when appropriate. Why should kilts be any different?
Cloves,

Check out this thread:

It shows the same kilt being worn in different situations. I have worn that same kilt to go volksmarching, to a beer festival, and dressed up to different levels. Now, I wouldn't wear such an expensive kilt if I knew it was going to get dirty, but anything else is okay.
