Ah! Thank you for clarifying, Jock.

It seems ironic that kilts are more expensive in Scotland than outwith (nevermind those Gold Bros [and their ilk] kilts).

I have been quoted around $500 USD for an 8-yard 16oz with proper stabliser/reinforcement/what-have-you that makes for a "proper" kilt (hand-stitched even) by some of the finest in the game, some of whome are advertisers here.

My next will be 8-yards, certainly, but that's a way off down the road.

Why might they seem to be more expensive in Scotland than the US?
