Hi,

As I've been looking over different kilt websites, I've noticed that the prices that a lot of these websites are charging for their great kilts are as much as for their bespoke kilts. I find it hard to understand, as the great kilt is simply a length of fabric, typically 4.5 yards long. I purchased mine by the yard (4 yards) from an Amish fabric store, and it is lovely 100% wool black-watch plaid. I paid $100 for it. A lot of the kilt websites are charging around $500 for their great kilts. I understand the bespoke kilts being expensive as you are paying for the expertise in workmanship in addition to the fabric. I bought my tartan six years ago, so not sure if prices have changed much since then, but some of the more reasonable websites today are charging $60/yard. Even at that price, you would pay $280 with shipping for a great kilt. (That is still a good deal less than $500).
