Unfortunately that's the reality of "hand-made" garments. We don't want to pay the price of the craftsmanship and quality that we receive.

We would rather complain and go to anyplace that can offer a cheaper option.

We have many kiltmakers on this board, most offer a beautiful garment in comparison to the cost.

Alan is correct, don't assume that you are getting your pockets (or sporran) turned inside out just because of the cost. How many people spend $4-7 for a "Starbucks" when they could just get a "coffee" at a deli for $1-2, but they complain about the price of everything around them. It's a matter of what you want.
