    Nice tartan. I can see a kilt and a matching dress for my wife (well,...it's on the list at least.)

    Considering how many good kilts I could get for that price I will give this one a miss!

    I don't care if it is woven of down from angels wings, it is not worth that kind of money. Vanity, thy name is man.

    Brian Wilton, director of the Scottish Tartan Authority, which records and documents historical tartans, said it could take tartan to new heights.

    "The new Holland and Sherry tartan takes the quality and luxury of tartan to new levels," he said.

    "We're sure that a kilt in this new tartan will become a must-have for many discerning and fashion-conscious buyers around the world."


    For less than that I can fly to Scotland, get measured for a kilt at Geoffrey Tailor, go on an extended tour of the country, and pick up the kilt on my return leg home.

    That said, I wouldn't mind seeing what a cashmere kilt feels like around the waist.

    This is great!
    The kilt-wearing community will double at least in size don’t you think?


    They lied. Someone apparently did get hit by a black hole from CERN!
    In the head?

    An attempt to place a black hole in the purse for sure.

    From a traditionalist's standpoint... all of the finger wagging I've done at cheap kilts can apply to that one. It's not traditional.
