Hey Guys...

Mike in NC sort of let the cat out of the bag with his post in the Traditional section...

We're going to be coming out with a new "high end" line of kilts... our "Premier Line". We've opened accounts with a few mills in the UK (House of Edgar and Strathmore among others) and now have access to high quality wools.

The way we build the kilts is a little more complex on our Premier line than our Poly Viscose Traditionals. Also, they're part machine sewn and part hand sewn. The price is going to be $250 (labor) PLUS Material cost (generally about $200 to $250)... overall around $450 to $500. These are the "tanks" that you're used to seeing on bagpipers.

The only thing that will change with these is the turn around time and having to quote each kilt price individually (at least at first). For obvious rea$on$, we can't keep wool in stock at $50/yard. We order the material when you place the order so we're at the mill's mercy until we GET the material. The plus side is that we can get MANY different tartans (including ALL of the Irish counties, SOME Irish names and Irish National) that aren't available in PV.

If you'd like to see an example of our Premier line, Check out Mike in NC's gallery. The Grey and Red kilt is the Confederate Memorial Tartan.

If you have any questions about available tartans or anything, please let us know! 610.650.USAK or email rocky@usakilts.com
