My First Traditional, From USA Kilts

[Graham]

I'm confused Mike, is the kilt in question the latest in your gallery?

You say it's an 8 yard traditional, but it has a badge sewn onto it, I thought USAK only put those on the Philabeg and casual kilts.

No Graham. The Confederate tartan is the light grey and red one.

Hey Guys...

Mike in NC sort of let the cat out of the bag... We're going to be coming out with a new "high end" line of kilts... our "Premier Line". We've opened accounts with a few mills in the UK (House of Edgar and Strathmore among others) and now have access to high quality wools.

The way we build the kilts is a little more complex on our Premier line than our Poly Viscose Traditionals. Also, they're part machine sewn and part hand sewn. The price is going to be $250 (labor) PLUS Material cost (generally about $200 to $250)... overall around $450 to $500. These are the "tanks" that you're used to seeing on bagpipers.

The only thing that will change with these is the turn around time and having to quote each kilt price individually (at least at first). For obvious rea$on$, we can't keep wool in stock at $50/yard. We order the material when you place the order so we're at the mill's mercy until we GET the material. The plus side is that we can get MANY different tartans (including ALL of the Irish counties, SOME Irish names and Irish National) that aren't available in PV.

Hey Mike... if you get a chance, can you take a pic or 2 of the back of the kilt to show off those pleats? We've only made 6 or 8 of these so far... there aren't too many out there, so we have to show off the ones that we can.

Waal hush ma mouf, sorry Rocky if I let the cat out of the bag.

Pictures shouldn't be a problem, just gotta get the wife up off her deathbed and hand her the camara The dreaded intestinal bug has bitten her but look for them in a couple of days.
