Think the price difference comes from comparing to "routine" clothing we wear. Looking at the labels of your shirts and pants will verify that the American textile and cut and sew industry has long ago moved overseas. The people who sew up those garments are not Union working 8 hour days with high wages and benefits.
Quite the contrast with the mills that weave the wool tartan cloth and the craftsmen who hand sew the kilt.
I have yet to hear of a wealthy hand sewn kiltmaker. They give fair value.
