Most 5 yrd casual kilts from Scotland start are about $350, so really they are a bargain.
I'll chime in on this part. They most certainly are a bargain, and were I not saving money for a vacation, I would buy one of the green heavies. I love my Nightstalker and saffron. Not so much the 2 acrylics that I have. I don't like acrylic. But the woolies- man, those things are killer for the price!!
