The other being from a tourist or ingenue point of view where they are a honeypot for all things "Scottish" at the sort of prices the tourist is prepared to pay. In truth, however, they do also provide reasonable quality kilts at an attractive price as some of our members here can attest. The bottom line is are you a "never mind the quality - feel the width" type of person who yearns for a closet full of kilts or do you prefer just one kilt of the best quality money can buy for a garment that will hang well, keep its appearance and last a lifetime (yours and probably your childrens' as well). I know which one I would choose, given my background and experience but each to his own.
