Hand Tailored

[Chef]

Nick, I'm very sorry but I'm not buying this at all. It sounds like a sales pitch to me. If it's not then I am completely missing your point. I agree with what MacMillan said about why hand stitching is preferable to machine stitching but the idea that machine stitching would be preferred over hand stitching is IMHO sounds like rubbish.

If you are talking about an inferior hand stitched kilt or if price is a deciding factor I can understand why a machine stitched kilt is preferred. Without either of those factors I think the likelihood that someone would prefer a machine stitched kilt to say a Barb Tewksbury or or other true craftsman's wares is silly. I just don't see it happening.

I'm not saying there is anything wrong with a machine stitched kilt; I have seen fine ones. I just don't see it being preferred over a true hand stitched one.

What am I missing?
