Thistle, I agree. That's basically what I was trying to say. The making of a traditional kilt takes skill and a love for what you're doing. You are also correct, of course, about those who make kilts in Scotland. They are mainly people who grew up learning the skill.

I know there is a lot of talk about the price of kilts on this board, but a traditional kilt is not a high priced piece of clothing when you see the fine wool that is used, the time to make a kilt, the skill, etc. I don't think there can be a large mark-up on kilts at all. I have always wondered how they make money selling kilts!

The cost of a kilt, for what you are getting, is quite reasonable.
