Nick offers his customers a huge selection of tartans from well-known mills (e.g., Lochcarron, House of Edgar) and from lesser-known mills (e.g., Marton, N. Batley). The cloth comes in a range of prices depending on the mill. None of it is trash. I bought their 8-yard "Balmoral" in a 13-oz cloth by Batley. That is their low-price mill, and it's still a really nice piece of cloth. Some people want to know their cloth is from the best mill and are willing to pay. Others want a good quality product at a lower price. Nick caters to both. In order to do so, he has to start at a base price an adjust upwards as a customer builds the kilt. Other stores that have a fixed price do not offer the choices Nick does. Aside from the FEDEX issues, which are out of his control, I was satisfied with my price and service.
