    Just to put everything into perspective -

    Just the fabric alone - for an 8 yard, knife pleated kilt, made in 16oz UK wool - will cost about $320.00 -$360.00 US Dollars.

    Add to that the skilled labor to make the kilt. Ask your self what your hourly rate is and multiply by 25 -35 hours for a hand stitched, "Traditional" style kilt.

    Please expect the price of a good quality hand stitched kilt, made to measure, by a reputable maker, to be around $500.00 to $800.00 US Dollars.
