Legitimate??

[Kylahullu]

I'll say upfront that I have had no dealings with this company but from the experiences in this thread, it is obvious that they are heavily focused on real customer service and are rightly proud of their products.

Well, advertising something as "xxxx" and it being "aaaa" isn't "real customer service" in my books. If someone is rightly proud of his product then why not advertise it as "aaaa"?

I have a kilt, not from this company, that was advertised as 16 ounce PV. Is it actually 16 ounce? No but when I asked the vendor before I bought it, they said that it had the look and swing of a 16 ounce kilt.

So, they tried to cheat you. Luckily you knew enough to call it out. To have a "look and swing as a 16oz" is not same as being a 16oz.

I would agree with Mael that these kilts are excellent first kilts or everyday kilts, where you don't want to risk damage to several hundred dollars worth of top quality wool kilt. But it's always your choice. You came to the right place to get clarification. Good luck, whatever your final decision.

That is not the point. They can be real good ones for any purpose but why the (possibly) false advertising? I am not discussing about some kilt being good or not, or some other being worse or...

Maybe this is some kind of a cultural matter... but I would buy the kilt "that has the swing of a 16oz kilt" from someone that advertises it as such and never from someone who advertises it as "a 16oz kilt". Even if I was lucky enough to call the fraud out once I wouldn't trust that seller any more.

(This mail is more an academic discussion about fraud, trust and fair play than of any specific vendor.)
