I wonder if USAK would make their Casual kilt in wool and how much it would cost.
CAN we make it in wool? Yes... how much would it cost? Probably around $250. Remember, WORSTED wool is about $50 / yard. When you have to get 2.5 yards of material (our casuals average about 5 yards... sometimes more) and then factor in labor, you're roughly where you'd be for one of our "5 yard wool"s (with straps and buckles and fringe and whatnot...).

We (in the past) have gotten "lessor quality" wool at local fabric stores and on "fabric row" in Philly, but the quality just wasn't there. That's why we use PV as our "low cost alternative" to wool for our casuals and Semi Trads.
