I think many of us started out that way, and over the past 3-4 years of this forum the older members (and some of the newer ones) and not as keen about kilt sin general as we were in the introduction stage. We are very well informed now and we know what we like and what we want in a kilt. Many of us have tried all ends of the kilt spectrum, and know what we want next. If we want to go for the tailored, reputable, hand made product we trun our interests to the kiltmakers and make the tartan or colour secondary.

It's the same with any product. At 16 we want a car to get us around, at 18 we want something to show off with, and by 30 we want something that will last a few years, with as little servicing as possible, which is well made. Of course by 50 I am going to want something completely different...

This is EXACTLY how I feel! In the beginning I bought certain kilts that I liked for a brief moment... only to later learn were not well made garments at all. I am indeed much more well informed now. I know who does good work and they will continue to get my business.
