Excellent post Ron. I agree completely.

The commnets about Freelanders over the last year have been outstanding, and I don't see the big issues of the price going up a couple of $$$$. I have yet to see a business that sells handmade products not have to increase their prices slightly as their business grew. Case in point, but first bear kilt (4 yard casual) was $80 cdn. I don't know what the price is now, but I know it is over $200 cdn. These people making the products need to make a small profit as well as cover their costs. Remember that with Freelanders (either through David, or through Freedom klts as well now) that you are not only paying for top notch material, handemade care and craftsmanship, but also delivery. From what I have seen that is still a great price.

I would still rather pay for a quality product that will last ages, rather than some of the rubbish out there that won't last the next couple of years.
