How long does it take to make a kilt?

I expect to get a kilt made from the bolt to sewing on the label in a comfortable 26-30 hours,this for a handsewn one.

It takes me about 25 hours to make an 8-yard knife pleated kilt.

Since these are hand sewn, how much time does using a machine save on making the kilt? I realize the quality may not be as nice, but I would just like to know. Would it cut it in half?
