Alan H,
Excellent post! I've always known why kilts are expensive but never broke down the price in such detail. I feel that, if anything, kiltmakers charge too little for their artwork.. and it is indeed artwork, not to mention that a kilt will last a lifetime if you care for it. My first kilt (purchased in 2003) looks just as good today as the day it was created, and will likely look this good 10 years from now.

Thanks for posting this
