Although I have yet to have a kilt that was made in Scotland, but If I was to walk into a kilt shop in Scotland and order one, I will have no problem paying the price that ask For. I am paying for a genuine Kilt made by the people of Scotland. I am sure most of the tailors out there were trained from a very young age or at least went to school to learn the art in kilt making.
As Kilt makers, they are probably aimed to make the best kilt they could, because two things are on the line: the pride as kilt makers and also the national pride. To them, they are not making a simple clothing, but a piece of garment that symbolise thier country and their culture. They are also sewing a piece of Scotltish pride in them. They want the world to know that a Genuine Scottish kilt is second to none.
I am not going to trash the Pakistanni kilts. They have their place. But, the Parkistannis sew kilts up to make a living. They woulld careless about their nationalistic pride because they can probably get another job in another facotry making pleated skirt for NIKE or Tommy Hifilger.
This past Summer, I had a chance of seeing the kilts that Hamish brought over to Vancouver. Man, I was impressed. Since the Summer, I vowed to get me a TFCK Kilt in the future. THe pleatings were superb and the swing was just lovely. Obviously, the kilts were made by people with extensive experience in making them.
