I agree partially with Wonder, I myself have wondered how the plummeting value of the dollar might effect Scottish artisans.

On the other hand, while I understand that a guy often can't walk into a story and plunk down a grand for a quality kilt right off the bat, I would ask how many folks would even considering saving up for one as a goal. I think that if enough men had taken that approach, the quality producers like this gentleman might be able to hold on through the tough times of the world economy at present.
