trade offs, remember, not everyone is loaded with hundreds of dollars to spend in a single pair of socks or a sporran.

So, we learn from other's experiences.

If I ever win the lottery, I will buy your stuff Matt, until you carry affordable stuff for those of us in a tight budget, no dice i'm affraid (no pun intended)
I've been to Matt Newsome's shop , live and in person because I am from his town and I found that his stuff has been reasonably priced. Because I am extremely into textiles, I have also had the greatest pleasure of examining the products at the Scottish Tartan Museum's shop and found it some of the highest quality around and in fact not only is worth what it is but he could probably get away with charging just a wee bit more from it because the products that are sold are products of the HIGHEST quality and will last years and years, where as something cheaper will get worn and faded for a few months.

I respectfully request that until you learn about quality vs. money that you don't be quite so critical of individuals such as Matt Newsome who has done nothing but share his extreme wisdom of Scottish attire to this board.
