Question about the Utilikilts company

[User]

Im not a customer either but have multiple choices when ordering utility kilts keeps the prices down. Because they are so cheap i wear them everyday for work. I do general construction.

I don't think Lamborghini does anything to keep the prices of Kia down, because their markets are too distinct despite both selling cars.

In my opinion, Utilikilts is the highest end mass-manufactured made-in-usa utility kilt company (even if it's true that their quality has slipped), and USA Kilts is the highest end mass-manufactured made-in-usa kilt company.

Utilikilts' cheapest kilt is $220, and USA Kilts' cheapest kilt is $84 in a discontinued tartan or $130 in a stocked tartan. For the price of one Utilikilt, you can buy both a stocked tartan kilt and a discontinued tartan kilt from USA Kilts and have enough left over for two slices of pizza and an ice cream at Costco.

Utilikilts' most expensive kilt (excluding leather) is $450. USA Kilts' 5-yard wool kilt is $430. Even if Utilikilts goes under, I don't think it will affect the prices of utility kilts from other companies.

Well, methinks that you have hit the nail in the head straight and true regarding a lot of what really is going on in real life when it comes to Scots (or people generally) wearing kilts, and whether kilts are a costume. Daily or reasonably regular wear by others besides real fans boils down to whether your standard average working bloke can afford to... If my pain point for work clothes costs several hundred dollars per each, and can only be dry cleaned, that's not going to happen. As a farmer, I don't get dressed in the morning with ratty stained clothes as a point of pride (well, OK let's admit it, there might be a little bit of that...), but because that's part of the give-and-take with the life activities that I enjoy, full-contact interacting with Creation. Some of my berries have rather nasty thorns, but are oh so delicious. My working kilt/s better take the stains and the scars like a man, just that much more comfortable than jeans.

REALLY looking forward to it, might just jump the gun a get myself some.

@User, and then there's UTkilts, $63 and up for plain (not tartan). I'll go check out USA kilts.
