Argyle kilt hose - success!

[Jdot84]

I have noticed of late a certain attitude among some of "us poor guys" vs. "you rich guys," and I try not to let it bother me. If you look at my wardrobe, you'd probably assume me to be among "you rich guys," however my W2s certainly affirm that I am among "us poor guys" fairly squarely.

I strive to have quality items in our museum gift shop, both because I think it reflects well on our museum, and also because I am proud of the artisans,

Matt,
I agree with you and I am in the poboy catagory also. I would prefer to save my money and buy one quality product rather than have to buy several lower priced and usually lower quality item. It just makes better since to me. My Kilts and other Highland wear are an investment and they should and will last a lifetime.
Now that being said, I do shop around and hit ebay often.You can find real deals if you look, I found my pc and waist coat on ebay for $68 it sells on J. Higgins for $275.
So each to thier own but usually paying a little more for quality up front saves money in the long run.
Thats my $0.02

Thanks
J.

I agree with you there, but see, a lot of us also want to buy one item, not dozens.

I just want to have a pair of diced hose and that's it. I can not afford $150-$200 for a pair of diced hose. I can afford $60. So I buy the ONE I can afford.

I don't want dozens of pairs of hose, some members do and showcase them regularly. It is nice to see the variety and good for them.

I just don't think it fair to call our available price range of selections 'unserviceable', or 'wear them only once every 5 years' or 'wear them only when there is not enough light' and so on.

If someone can afford and does not want to wear 'cheap' items, great, just please enough with the editorials and criticisms.

Different people can afford different prices, and there is no need to ridicule or criticize those items that are 'cheaper'.

Some people can only afford those.

I applogize if anything in my post was concidered criticisms or ridicule, I did not mean it to sound that way.
I was just trying to point out that there are bargins out there, and or a person may be better suited to save up for an item than to lose thier money on somethig that will not last (this I have done myself).
After all we are all here to educate and to be educated.
I think a person should wear what they want, and that is what is advocated here in this forum.
Once again I appologize If anything I'd posted before was misconstued.

Thanks
