Just a whiney complaint...

Yep Panache, the DIY approach has the potential to go a long, long way if you're up to it.

I like nice pocket squares and good pocket watches.
I will be happy with one traditional kilt, but will be OK with two SWK heavyweight kilts.

Pleater has a good point to, you use what you have to get what you want and need.
Sometimes that involves taking something like a SWK wool kilt and improving it through alterations; sometimes that means trading stuff; sometimes that means coughing up big money for something.
Sometimes it means waiting and saving for something while using the lesser items that can pass but aren't high quality.
