So when you compare apples to apples we save you money buying from us, either way. As for our pricing. We could do the same thing they do. The majority of our kilts are actually 5 yard. However it depends on the kiltmaker we need to use for your tartan. Our business philosphy is " Underpromise and Overdeliver" . Same thing holds for the time frame listed on our site. We tell our customers 8 weeks. And we often deliver within 4 to 6. Much happier you recived it quicker than disappointed you had to wait. We would rather exceed your expectations than make claims that are not 100% accurate.
They have Lochcarron Strome, and Jura Range tartans (both 16 oz) for $231.92 US on their site. There are a total of 140 different tartans at that price. And you can get almost any tartan you desire for $279.92 . Your 4 yard (if they are really 5 yard you should say so) are $375.00 for heavy weight (16 oz). Shipping from them was $27.00 if I remember correctly so at most you would pay $306.00 for a 5 yard heavy weight wool tartan, or $69.00 cheaper than your price (or in my case $116.00 cheaper than yours since I bought one of the Jura Range tartans).

Only one of the tartans listed (and it is $96.00 btw) is PV (the hunting Stweart), the rest are 100%wool from House of Edgars, Lochcarron of Scotland and Strathmore (thousands of tartans) so I fail to see how yours are priced comparitivly. I am comparing apples to apples, and your apples cost more. Now I'm sure you have great customer service, and that is something worth paying for, and Scottishkilts is lacking in the service department (no arguement there), so advertise on your service and don't try and pretend that you're cheaper cause you're not.
