Hand Sewn 8 Yard Kilt Price List and Comparison

[ForresterModern]

Excellent work, Bryce, and nothing less than the quality we have come to expect from your posts and your products. As others have stated this is just a starting point, as much more goes into the making of a bespoke handsewn kilt than just price---there is communication, measurement, updates, other service factors like rush orders, quality of materials other than tartan, build styles, etc... all other factors to be taken into consideration before making the final decision.

I think the fact that this is based on price alone is good in one way---it hits you where it counts, in the wallet----but bad in other ways, as it fails to include those other intangibles that are hard to list on a website, and which you don't get to know about until you have at least cursorily worked with a kiltmaker enough to get to know them at least a little bit. Many have had great relationships with different kiltmakers-----Ron with Kathy Lare, me with Bonnie Heather, many with Lady Chrystel and Barb and Matt and Wally and others here on the forum. Some have had good and or bad experiences with some of the more corporate vendors listed above and who may advertise on the site.

It might be valuable to gather some of those types of reviews together by kiltmaker in companion threads or composites of past postings about experiences with specific vendors and individual kiltmakers with this in mind---finding out more about the intangibles to add to our insight Bryce has brought about the generic financial part of the deal. I know at least one other kilt forum which has a section listing kiltmakers and vendors individually, and perhaps we should consider something like that as a place to post our composite experiences so that if Kiltwearer X desires a new kilt he/she might be able to peruse the reviews of several different kiltmakers in one compilation, instead of having to do individual searches for posts about those kiltmakers. It might even give a newer member of the group more alternatives to finding what they are specifically looking for, while providing more complete information about each different kiltmaker's price, style, communication, etc..... It would simply be composite information from reviews and comments fomr customers who might or might not be satisfied to varying degrees, rather than a more mechanical catalogue of prices and options, to address some of those intangibles in the kilt ordering process.

Just some random thoughts. Anyway, thanks again for all the effort, Bryce. Thorough as ever.
