I suspect that you may be right. If we assume that their labor cost is the same for all types of tartans, and that the actual build time is 20 hours, that gives the kiltakers an average of $17.50 / hour for their trouble. That sounds a bit more realistic in terms of viability. At first glance it looked to me as though these highly skilled people were being regarded as third world garment workers!
