    Depending on the quality of assembly and material, I would probably have several more than I do now. I would expect it to not fall apart after the first wash, and I would not purchase one that is too light. Personally, I like a heavier material. I would not expect a Wal-Mart kilt to have the same quality as a USA kilt, but for casual wear it should be adequate. Tartan selection and color would also be a factor. By my own choice, I prefer more muted colors (blue, green, black), and stay away from bright colors (red, yellow).

    upside, never baste the pleats and redo them, just toss and grab another one.

    seriously though, I would like a heavier one than the one i have. I can only guess its an acrylic, since it didn't have tags on it and really seems to blow in the wind rather easily. (I'd order a wool SWK if they had a size/tartan match for me and I had a bit more money)
