    I own a "fred" Highland Black and 3 SWKs (1 Economy - 2 Thrifty). They are all of
    equal quality & price - being as they are - acrylic. The only difference is that the
    "fred" has straps - no velcro - on its "thrifty" version.

    I disagree with this statement. They are not of equal quality. I received my kilt from fredonline nearly a month after I ordered it, while I was waiting for it I went ahead and ordered a standard from SWK. I received the SWK in 3 days. Weeks later, needless to say, when fred kilt arrived I was very disappointed. The leather straps are cheap and feel fake, the material is very stiff, and the accessories he included were pretty much useless. It was a waste of money when for a few more bucks I could have purchased another SWK and accessories instead. Jerry sells top notch goods for the price. You cant find a better deal. Plus your order will reach you at the speed of light! lol. Just my two cents.
