Why does a kilt cost what it does? (re-hash for new folks)

[cavscout]

Keep in mind also that tartan from Mill A could, and likely will, have a different appearance and hand than the same tartan from Mill B. Thread thicknesses can also vary the sett size between mills. These differences can effect the number of orders each receives for a tartan. For example, the following Fraser Hunting Ancient tartans from Locharron and Marton Mills. A 22 lb. difference in price. Both are double width within about 3".

Oh, of course it will. The same sett is almost always different. But to some people that probably isn't a concern. 22 lbs. difference? (That's really heavy! )
