Found the William and Lauren website.
I only found one (1) skirt and it held an eye-watering price tag. :cry: :cry:

(Maybe in another life - - :?: )

The estimate I saw was $300 for a custom skirt.

Given the cost of fabric, and the amount of time it takes to measure the person, make a pattern, buy the fabric, cut the fabric, and sew the garment, this price is very fair. People need to be paid and labour costs in the UK / US add up very quickly,

If you tried learning how to sew one yourself, then you'd quickly understand.

I understand that traditional kilts can be quite expensive.

If a man has a strong interest in a particular design-which is otherwise unavailable-and is willing to pay a premium, I can imagine a man paying for a single example.
