    The website doesn't seem to have the price that you posted.
    I would ask:
    What is the length of material used in the kilt?
    What is the weight of the fabric?
    Is it tailored to my waist, hips, and drop?

    good luck.

    Sounds too cheap for it to be quality. I would be suspicious of the material and how the kilt is constructed. As Barb T. has stated many times here, it takes a skilled kilt maker about 20 hours to tailor a kilt. Considering what she charges, I would certainly be very leery of that price. And seriously wonder if it were made in Europe. More likely it will be like SWK, made in Pakistan.

    My guess is that it is a casual type kilt; large pleats, maybe a 5 yarder. Might want to check if it has interfacing and if the pleats are cutout.

    Small print says otherwise....

    "Tartan Tailor Kilts are made from a minimum of eight yards pure wool, completely hand sewn and hand pressed to produce a high quality tailored finish."

    BUT remember the old saying..."If it sounds too good to be true, it probably isn't"

    Caveat Emptor!!!!
