Is it really a deal?

All 11oz worsted wool tartan material is not created equal. Some is very light feeling and soft, whereas others are more robust and hold a pleat well. I'm not sure why that is. While 11oz is a more common weight in women's skirts, it is not totally unheard of in a man's kilt.

That is a very nice tartan and different from what you already have. Machine sewn is not preferable, but can look just fine if done well... hopefully nobody will be getting their noses up in your fell to inspect How does it look at a polite social distance?

Value-wise, $200 inclusive is not bad for the sort of kilt you are describing, but not especially amazing either. If that is a rare tartan, then it could add some value to the equation
