    Yes, $110... it is hand knitted and made with more yarn and time than usual. Pricing is based on materials and labor... it is not made in the middle east like most bonnets today. The price is only $15 more than the other consignment bonnets and $11 more than the blue one with a black headband, black torrie, and black ribbon drawstring. To add, wool yarn from her supplier has risen about 30% in price, and she uses a local supplier.

    Oh I quite understand production costs, but-----------I do wonder who will buy one. Still, each to their own.

    For a bonnet like that, what kilt-wearing Santa could afford NOT to?

    I'm willing to bet there are a few kilted Santas out there that will be interested.
