    Wal Mart won't stock kilts until they can sell six million of them in a fiscal quarter.

    And they'll nevr sell one to me, because I reuse to even walk into a Wal-mart. Or Costco.

    That's may thought, too. They will sell kilts after kilts will not be any special, which is not adding much to kilt populatity right now.

    i will say i'm not a fan of wal mart, except when something goes wrong with my car at 3am and i need a place that is open.
    someone once told me that one of the reasons kilts were so expensive was the copywrite of the tartans. taking that out of the equation if they were mass produced i see no reason they wouldn't be about $50.
    as far as quality i think it wouldn't be much different than say dress pants.
    sure you can by a pair at wal mart for $25 if you need to but they'll never fit you like your wool, silk lined, tailored english suit pants.

    Many designs are beyond copyright, and then there are solid colors. Royalties are not the issue for most of them I would think.
