I make about two or three kilts per week and I do it full-time. Some of the lower-yardage styles take less than 20 hours to make, but they don't make up the bulk of my orders. I also have to do paperwork, shipping, communication and everything else that is related to owning your own business. I also try to manage having a life as well!

For me to make 5000 kilts would require a time frame close to 38-48 years.
