Can you buy a good kilt for $400usd

[Bugbear]

Please don't get me wrong in my post. Matt Newsome's Kilts are perhaps the most Historically accurate and well researched Kilts in the world today.
His craftsmanship is the highest. And I heartily recommend them.

I thought though that bug_n_67 was asking about an 8 yard Knife Pleated Hand-Sewn "Tank".

No, you explained it very well, Wizard. I think we all just looked at the price range and said to ourselves eight yard knife pleats etc are off the table unless they are quite used.

I know I had to put my plans on the back burner after last year's roller coaster ride.
