Er... something is fishy here.

While I agree that making a quality kilt takes a trememdous amount of skill and many hours of labor, I have never had a kilt maker even suggest to me that it takes 60 hours of labor to make one (I think even 20 might be stretching it), and if someone is charging you over a thousand US dollars for a single kilt, be advised to look elsewhere.

The most expensive kilt we sell at the Scottish Tartans Museum gift shop is just over $600 and this is a kilt made from Lochcarron's single width Strome cloth (16 oz). Your average medium weight kilt would cost less than $500.

For a thousand dollars you can just about put together a complete formal dress outfit.

I might have to go check out that site and see what's up....

Aye,
Matt
