Tiresome Technicalities.
I have thought for a very long time on this website that many here seem obsessed with the technical details of kilt construction. Thats fine if those sort of things really matter to you, but all honesty do we really need post after post, thread after thread discussing these details? Yes, I know! I don't have to read them and mostly I don't.
What do I want from a kilt? I want my tartan, made of wool and I want/need it to fit and I want/need it to last at least 50 years of regular wearing and I demand quality which only comes to the fore overtime and that does usually come at a price. But as a long term purchase, it actually is not a bad investment. Yes, I know that I shrink and swell overtime, as we do, and yes the Land Rover door latch, barbed wire, brambles and so on are always lurking but with a bit of luck, those disasters can be avoided. If the kilts shrinks too much in the wardrobe then there is always someone in the family who will carry on wearing it.
I am from the "you make it and I will fly it" school of thought and as long as it-----in this case the kilt---- meets my pretty basic criteria, then I am more than happy to carry on without getting mired in detail.
Am I alone on this website in thinking this?
