But with great humility... could I please ask you again to look at it? I'm afraid I still feel the table is not showing a fair and valid comparison. Since the group has established that HoS kilts are not in fact hand-sewn, but you've kept them in the list (when you initially said you were comparing only fully hand-sewn) the fair comparison in our own case (and probably other vendors) would be with our PART-machined (and still substantially hand-sewn) version. That knocks another 75USD off our price listed... which is still before the XMTS discount. I know all this sounds like special pleading, but I feel it's in everyone's interests (and particularly novices who find their way here for their first purchase, and may not understand all the subtleties) to see like-for-like comparisons, as far as that's possible. Does this not make sense?

Thanks again.
I believe Brice's list is for the best kilt each company makes. In the intro to the OP he wrote that this would be mostly hand-sewn but that exceptions would be noted. In the breakdown next to HoS he has duly noted that their best kilt is machine sewn while Scotweb's best is hand sewn.

Seems to me like that's in order?
