We try and keep the price of our kilts down at King Kilts, but you get what you pay for in terms of fabric. We're charging $60 for our basic generic plaid kilts and $65 for our plain kilts. Each one takes my wife about 12 hours labor to completely hand sew, so with materials lets just say that on an average job she makes less than a minimum wage, but she likes doing the work from home so she doesn't complain.

Alan's original point is right on. The expense of kilts is going to limit the number who will buy them and that's not necessarily a bad thing. The idea that we have to mainstream everything is kind of a fallacious notion anyway. There've been a lot of stupid fashion statements a lot of people have followed.
