    Just bought a couple of new kilts

    I recently made a purchase from heritageofscotland.com which is somehow connected to the Gold Brothers. I feel I got a decent deal, but that's without being entirely certain of the running price on 8yd PV kilts. As part of a buy one get one sale I bought a 8yd pv kilt in Scottish national and for my free kilt I selected an 8yd pv kilt in the Freedom tartan. Both seem to be made well enough, though the labels and such seem a bit generic. So I ended up paying 129.77 for two kilts plus over seas shipping and the currency exchange fee that my bank charges. The question is:
    Did I really get a deal, or did I fall prey to a cheap tourist trap with a web site?

    I bought a Heritage of Scotland kilt in the house tartan a couple of years ago when I was in Edinburgh on the Royal Mile. I found the construction, fit and fabric to be very acceptable for the price. The price you paid seems to be OK for two PV's and the shipping. My two cents worth.

    I have a Heritage of Scotland and Irish National kilt from them for a similar price in different sales. They are fair value, practical kilts. I have been advised on here that they are not pure PV, but a mix of PV acrylic

    What is the Freedom tartan?

    I looked and only found Freedom of Derry, Freedom of Scotland and Operation Iraqi Freedom?

    Hi David.

    It's a Gold Bros fashion tartan (STA No.6865) and registered in May 2005.

    In the Scottish Register it's listed as "Gold Brothers" tartan
