First off, I am referring more to the casual kilt manufacturers....

Blu- it would cost almost nothing. Each time they finish a kilt in a new tartan or fabric, strap it to a dummy, take a good dig pic and post it up. 30 mins. max? and a little web space. I am not saying to make a kilt for each and every scrap of fabric you can lay your hands on, but if you make a kilt with a certain fabric and you offer it, then you should be able to show what it looks like, right?

Hamish- They already have all those swatches on their site, what would be so hard to add a pic of a kilt in that tartan, they are kilt makers, correct? Unless you've seen a particular tartan made into a kilt, you may not know what it looks like, some have much larger sett than others. If they've never made a kilt with a certain obscure tartan or fabric, then it's understandable, don't show it.

Miah- These days web storage is very inexpensive.
