Polyviscose Fabrics?

[The Wizard of BC]

Actually Travisatwork01 most kilts sold today are relatively inexpensive for what you are getting.

Most of those of us who advertise here charge right around the same amount for the labor we put into our products. A full, hand-stitched traditional style kilt will require approx. 30-40 man/hours. Even a well made machine stitched kilt, if made to the same standards, will take two full days.

The cost of the fabric accounts for right about half of the cost of the kilt.

13oz & 16oz wool Tartan fabric is not something you can find in a local or remnant fabric store. These fabrics do not require a hem. The Tartan patterns they are woven in are very specific right down to how many threads of each color and the order.

Kilt wool is an amazing fabric to work with. You can steam and press a razor sharp edge into the pleats that will not come out until you re-steam it.
It sews like very few other fabrics. If hand sewing the stitching is total invisible.

The P/V you are looking for is totally machine washable and dryable. The creases in the pleats are permanent if the proper amount of heat is used. It is almost wrinkle free. Most are Teflon coated. I have kilts in my rental fleet that have been through the washing machine and dryer and look as sharp and nice as the day they were made.

Quality fabrics and skilled workmanship. That is why you see the prices you do.
