These are the discounted, Scottish-made kilts mentioned:

They state 16 oz., 100% wool fabric. Hell, for $83.00 I'd buy one (if it was 2 inches shorter!)....

not every one can aford to pay £300+ for a kilt , I now have 5 casual kilts my most recent was the lidl one which is the best quality , I do not have a problem with it being made in pakistan ( which is part of the commonwealth ) one of the things I like about the casual kilts is you do not need to put it in to the dry cleaners saving money and time , I also find light waight kilts are more coumfertibile to wear than the heavy millitery types.
in stead of complaining about the gold brouthers these kilt makers should produce there own casual kilts made in scotland or shut up ! , the first kilt I got was an economy kilt from hector russell this cost about £120 , but I prefer soume of the more recent casual kilts I got at a fraction of that cost , I can now choose different tartans for different ocasions instead of being stuck with just one exspensive kilt , and if anything hapens it easy replaced.

Yup, even though shipping was free for my two kilts, because they shipped them fedex the customs tariffs got picked up and I ended up popping for another $60 per kilt in tariffs. And the customs bill from fedex came nearly a month after I got the kilts. Ouch.

The Casual kilt I received from them was sent Royal Mail and had no additional charges. Is it different with wool?

The big difference, as I understand it, is that the post office isn't as concerned about collecting duties. (Its a profit center for FedEx.) When I followed the link and looked at the shipping options I only saw FedEx offered. Your mileage may vary.
