Couture Kilt

[Galician]

I'm all for "fair trade", "sustainability", and "organic", and am used to paying a little more for such support, but I found myself questioning the price on these all the same. Also, are not wool kilts organic and sustainable? Ok maybe antibiodics would cancel an organic classification.

Exactly, but, as she explained to me, there's not only the matter of antibiotics, but also of no use of pesticides on the fields where they graze, and non-toxic dyes to be used in the milling. It's a real commitment not only to the environment, but to helping the craft to sustain itself in a way so as to ensure its future.

And how does this justify the 2 - 3 times the price? No Toddo if you want a handsome tweed kilt go to USAKilts, if you want it natural for an extra $20 I'm sure Rocky will shed his kilt and sew it au naturel. Me personally I'd save that 20 .

The way I read that is that Howie has designed an upscale line for them. I already thought he WAS pretty upscale. Just a bit more than I'm willing to pay.

My God! 1500 knicker for a kilt!

When I saw the word "couture", all I could think of was those Reitman's commercials...

Maybe we could do a spin on that one:
"Stillwater Kilts one, haute-couture zero!"

Hey lets give the kilt makers on this site a chance. I think they could come up with a more expensive kilt. Give them a little time. How about hand woven spider web silk, hand dyed in plant dyes. By little old ladies at . . .
