Welcome,

Not sure where in New Mexico you be, but check out Kathy Lare at www.kathyskilts.com she's in Albuquerque and has sewn up six kilts for me and her prices are fair but no where near a grand. Guessing you got the special "sucker price" at the games from a middle man.

And, you only gotta put some down for the fabic and pay on delivery. Pics of her work in my gallery. She's the best.

But puleeze don't deny yourself the pleasures of the kilt just because someone was gonna overcharge you....and of course there are plenty of less expensive options too.
