    Just a quick note since you took our prices as CAD our price range is $510 - $650 USD I rounded up on conversion. This is for 10 ounce tartan up to 16 ounce rare tartans.

    Note when comparing prices make sure you are comparing the same quality of tartans aka Lochcarron with Lochcarron and the same weight.

    You may also want to compare the kiltmakers who do it as a hobby with the full-time professional who run it as a business.

    As stated earlier in the thread (not sure if you read it), but we wanted to focus on comparing PRICES only. It would then be up to the individual to compare other details that they think are important.

    This is something individuals will have to decide. Is it better to get a kilt from a full-time professional or from someone that does it on the side or as a hobby? That is for each person to decide. I do know there are plenty of NON full-time kilt makers that do great work. There are quite a few on the list. Again, this is something each person will have to decide on.

    Note: I agree it is up to the person buying the kilt to decide. I was simply just putting that out there for consideraton.

    Thank you Brice, for putting the time into this. I am sure we all have our "favorite" kiltmakers and I'm also sure most of us have an idea of who they would have make their "when I win the lottery" kilt.

    Looking over your list, and the addendums added by various members, I was amazed at the large number of kiltmakers that were out there, many of whom I had never heard of. Thank you for the education!
