John, at the prices Jerry gets you have to expect it's made overseas. I do agree with you about getting a Bear though. It's made to fit you rather than an off the rack kilt. I went and sent some fabric to King Kilts and I'm letting them make the second MacKinlay kilt for me. I want to move on to some other stuff I have lined up. The cost is very reasonable. I have to make some pillow covers for a gal that lives downstairs, finish the wifes outfit, I have parts cut for another sporran and I have enough of another tartan for 2 more kilts and I need to get the material for a jacket. I've got enough in the works to keep me busy for awhile.
