Welcome,
Where'd you learn the craft?
Always good to have more kiltmakers to handle the boom in common sense.

Thanks for the repiles
We are self taught... after studying how the traditional kilts are made....took a pattern broke it down to its simplest form and went from there, after a few " prototypes" we ended up with our current style

Good point Taper,
Was gonna point that out too, but my besotted brain forgot.
Don't be scaring off the stateside prospects with Canadian prices....

First, I like your cargo pocket design, very innovative. however, two diferent kinds sort of makes the kilt look unbalanced to me. I think you should just go with two of the slash type cargo pockets.
I don't get why there is a row of snaps down the open edge of the apron.
Finally even in Canadian dollars you are one of the most expensive casual kilt makers (I can only think of Kilts2 and TFCK as having higher priced kilts). This coupled with the the fact that your kilts are sized like UK's (only two measurements) as opposed to being totally custom sized (like Freedom Kilts or RKilts) leads me to say that you probably need to cut your prices at least 40% to really make you a viable consideration.
That being said, good luck, a new kilt maker is always welcome since new ideas keep everyone on their toes.
