I remember reading somewhere, (maybe on this forum) that a skilled kilt-maker takes about 20 hours to make a kilt. That would be two long days, or three slightly shorter ones. I imagine that the complexity of the sett would have a bearing on that.

If you factor in tartan fabric at US$75-US$100+ per yard, and add 20 hours of skilled hand labour, the price of a "Tank" is truly reasonable.! (I know, it is still expensive, but certainly more understandable.)
