    It's basically that not all kilts are created equal, and the kilting standard tends to be the traditional wool tailored kilt.

    The Stillwater kilts, although great for casual wear, don't really measure up for dressier wear. Sure, you could get by with them, especially the heavyweight, but they are just not the same. Of course, most people wouldn't know the difference. But we here at Xmarks tend to be a sophisticated lot (no, really, we are), so we know the difference.

    I think I'm gonna' take this statement and run. I would love to have a nice, traditional kilt...heck, I'd love to have a big, custom made tank. But, on my current budget (and with my fiancee's current uncertanity) I'm gonna' stick with the Thrifty Kilt for now...

    However, I do thank you all for your comments, advice, and all around good nature. Heck, I haven't even bought a "real" kilt yet, and I love this place!
