So, how's the new kilt working out? Like, have you been anywhere with it?
It's great. I've worn it out and about a couple times. I get a lot of comments on it, all positive. (See pic in Pics and Photos)

Looks good! I'm glad it's working out.
Courage, conviction, nerve, verve, dash, panache, guts, nuts, balls, gall, élan, stones, whatever. Get some and get skirted.

Not cheap. They've quoted me Eur 160 for this one-off. Skirting costs!

Yeah bro, at the same price tag you could have chosen a Biker Skilt made of cotton twill, with reflective striping and thiker waistband than usual, adjustable in waist size and with detachable cargo pockets but I prefer lightweight material with a great amount of swish and drape. 8)

Affordable doesn't mean necessarily cheap. Nope, my choices cannot compete with a $6 thrift store find but are practical and made to men specs. In Europe jeans are far more expensive than in the land of Mr BigMac across the pond. You can spend easily 60,00€ and more but I choose a Sport Kilt instead, which costs about like 2 jeans. This is affordable because 1/10 of the price of a traditional and less than half the price of a scottish casual kilt.

Bless the ones who can sew their own kilt properly or alter finds of the women's department. Hiatus fashion line up looks pretty decent to me. Except for the "fake" kilt. :evil:
