    Guys have posted experiences here of being told it would be $1 per pleat to hem a kilt. That sounds outrageous to me. Did your tailor give you a clue as to what the charges would be? I'd be interested to hear the breakdown of what you were charged.

    When I first talked to her, she looked at the kilt, checked the hem, and said, "This won't be hard to do at all, just time consuming." The when I asked about how much, she said it would be around $20. I shouldn't have told her there are about 5 yards of material, (I think), then she said, "Well, maybe up to $25.00." And that is what UK charges, but then there would be shipping too and a longer wait. I get one back on Friday so i can wear it this weekend to a play and to church.

    DALE.
