Hand Sewn 8 Yard Kilt Price List and Comparison

Hmm it would appear a few of you did thank him in retrospect
It seems my attention was drawn to the whining instead

There are many things that are just not quantifiable.

The experience of having your kiltmaker measure you personally, must be different from going to the shop and being measured by a sales assistant so the kilt can be made by a third party. Taking your own measurements and placing your order by phone or the internet will again be different.

Many men are intimidated by their tailors - they can't do it themselves and it is a foreign art to them. For them the postal and internet options are the best, whereas others much prefer the personal touch.

A kiltmaker, not yet mentioned, is Kinloch Anderson - kiltmaker to Her Majesty the Queen and their Royal Highnesses the Duke of Edinburgh and the Prince of Wales. And for a mere £650 they would make me a kilt that my kiltmaker made for me at exactly half that price. (Just as an aside, Kinloch Anderson would have to get the fabric from my kiltmaker.)

How does one quantify that? Does prestige count for more than good work done in a timely fashion. I think not - but that is only an opinion.

The only thing that can be quantified in the end is price - everything else (in my opinion) is opinion.
