£3,000 kilt

From a traditionalist's standpoint... all of the finger wagging I've done at cheap kilts can apply to that one. It's not traditional.

[Spc. Scott]

Wow.

It's impressive...the price that is. Even if I had that sort of cash to burn I could come up with a bit better way to make it vanish.

On the other hand, I'm sure someone will buy it and I hope they really enjoy it.

I'd rather have this one!

I have a somewhat serious question.

I go to India from time to time and can buy cashmere at very, very low prices there. It's so soft. I don't understand how it can be made into a fabric that is hard enough to hold pleats to the degree required for a kilt. Is there something about Mongolian "cashmere" that we don't know about?

Anyone care to make informed speculation?

[Prester John]

hahahaha he wrote "must have."

Are some people not aware of the Scot's reputation for thriftiness?

[Mark Keeney]

Mongolian cashmere? = Made in China?
It would be soft but will it hold a pleat?
$400 per meter = $1,600 for fabric so the other $8,400 is for labor?

Things just don't add up.

Yeah exactly. Absolutely ridiculous.

Not this time David! I'll use my 'plastic' - just think of the AirMiles I'll collect on a single purchase like that (and I'll get double AirMiles if they take Amex!!!).

Take care,
Ham.
