This is probably my fault. I mentioned that when I started looking at kilts the only places I found were selling traditional wool kilts $600-$700 dollars. This was a number of years ago and were from Scotland.

We mentioned that the prices had gone down, but were still expensive compared to some of the alternatives now available. We said that the lower price seemed to get more people to move from interested in wearing a kilt to wearing a kilt.

We did mention that there were a number of very good kilt makes in the US. Since it is close by we mentioned that guy/gal in Phoenixville and someone mentioned the guy that run a museum in the southern hills and quite a few others.

Many of the quote were attributed to the wrong person and slightly mixed up but as it has been said for a reporter with about a years experience it seemed to be very balanced.

My suggestion is to add a comment to the article, the link is at the bottom of the article page.
