As you might imagine (!), I made enquiries about this Saltire Kilt when it was first launched a couple of years ago. I really wanted to know if the cross was woven into the fabric or applied in some way later, and I was assured that it was woven. Initially, no price was quoted, and when I was told that it was £365, the comment was added that, looking at it another way, it costs £1 per day for the first year and then is free everyday thereafter!!
Since making that enquiry, I have seen the kilt displayed in numerous Highland Outfitting establishments, mainly in Edinburgh and, as Cyndi stated, it's popular with the Kilt Hire companies too and so appears on their websites.
Whilst I've not seen it worn 'in the flesh', I have seen it on TV and the appearance, when the pleats swing, is stunning.
Maybe I should get one for my 'Kollection' after all!
