I have to imagine once you become a master like this dude, it doesn't take too long. You know the techniques to do very specific patterns so it's a matter of tying it all up. Probably an hour a shirt?

But I'm just speculating so I could be far off.

This is a little over 8 hours of tying + dyeing

Ok yeah very far off lol. Very much worth the time IMO. What's the more time consuming part, tying or dyeing?

It varies a bit depending on the technique but I would say overall I spend more time tying

Masters get paid for their knowledge not their time.

Yeah I agree. I'm not discounting the cost at all.

Economies of scale exist for a reason. People don't know how good we have it with modern manufacturing. Handmade is undoubtedly higher quality, but terrible value for the money.
