Gonna get slammed for this but here goes...
Why are kilts and kilt accesories so darn expensive? I have a difficult time believeing that the kilt I wanted (Scottish Ambulance Service) would cost around $800. Even "in stock" kilt routinely cost $300-400. I understand the niche market and all that, but let's be honest a kilt is for all purposes a skirt, and my wife can get a "kilted" skirt for much less. I also understand the materials on a quality kilt are expensive, but even the "economy" kilts are pricey for the casual wearer (Amerikilt et al.)
Ok, all that aside why are flashes $25? forgive me but it is a piece of scrap material.
Please understand, I love kilts, I have one (not the one I really wanted but a passable one none-the less) but i am constantly stunned at the costs, especially when a comperable garment for a woman would be much less...
