    Thanks for your very helpful efforts. But if I may sound a little self-interested here, I think you've been a little unfair on us. Perhaps this does a bit of a disservice to anyone here wanting to price compare in reality?

    I'm not sure where you got your price from for our site. If you've set out to find the most expensive hand-made that would be our Manley Richardson. But surely if you're doing a price comparison service, the valid comparison is with the best value fully-hand sewn kilt, or else you're comparing apples and pears.

    I'd say the fair comparision would be our Balmoral traditional 8 yard (which by the way receives universally rave reviews for its quality) that starts at around 275 US dollars, with a surcharge of 75 USD for all hand-sewing. That's 350 USD, which is BEFORE our XMTS 10% discount, which brings it down to under $320. This makes us the lowest price of all in your table, even before quality comparisons.

    I appreciate the rules you appear to have set yourself. But since this would be the real price for almost every X-marker buying a hand-sewn kilt from us, I'd be really grateful if you could update your initial listing to reflect the realistic situation.

    And our name is one word, Scotweb, by the way.

    Thanks

    Nick
