40,000 Utilikilts Sold

[possingk]

I figured that I know USAKilt is doing well, but I doubt even they are selling that many every few months. I would not object to be told otherwise, though.

The point I meant to make is that Utilikilts is not being run as a "grab as much money as possible as soon as possible" enterprise. 40,000 units in about six years... not many items that started out as an avant-gard arts project can say that. That they have sold that many, with no advertising budget and with a business philosophy that can squeeze the bottom line, is worth bragging about.

I'm very happy that both companies -- not to mention all of the other kilt manufacturers, both formal and casual -- are successful.

I think it is a tremendous accomplishment that Utilikilts have sold 40,000 kilts, especially without advertising budgets etc. I also hope that you are not implying that USA Kilts, or any other kiltmaker on this forum is "being run as a 'grab as much money as possible as soon as possible' enterprise" as a person who has met the folks at USA Kilts in person, and one who has learned so much from the other kiltmakers on this forum, I can't say anyone of them is running an enterprise such as that. It actually upsets me that it was even implied.

Once again, I am really happy that Utilikilts made it to 40,000 that means that kilt wearing is spreading, and that can only mean good things for not only Utilikilts, but all the kilt makers around the world. I look forward to getting my first Utilikilt some day, but I look forward to getting any kilt, so that may be a moot point.

I hope this thread goes back to what it's intent was to recognize a great company for it's accomplishments.
