    Here's another page at that site that explains it a tiny bit further. They point out it is about half their usual price for kilts. Selecting an in-stock tartan does cut the price and the wait.

    I bought one from KA about three years ago and have enjoyed wearing it.
    Advantages : good cloth; quick and easy to put on, as it has a small piece of velcro instead of a buckle on the left (there is a buckle on the outside, but it's just for show!); light weight, lots of pleats.
    But : the pleats are very shallow, and, judging from comments I have had, some people don't think it looks like a "real kilt" because of this. Shallow pleats do not lie flat.

    They have certainly put the price up a lot; I remember paying about £150.

    For a little more, you can get a 5-yarder with a more traditional look.

    It is a pity the manufacturers prefer to sacrifice pleat depth rather than making fewer pleats.
