John,
Over the past couple of years, we have all had to take a hit. It has been the small businesses that have been the slowest to raise prices, and the fairest in the percentage of the price increases. In a time when you cannot get a real car for less than $30,000 (if you want a radio and AC), and milk is $3.00+ a gallon, how can any of us begrudge you the right to a fair wage, although it always seems like the true artisans of the world never get a fair wage, and their price increases only occur to keep them at "break even". Your kilts seem to be worth way more than you charge anyway. You are still my "go to guy" for kilts.
