Let The Buyer Beware

[Colin]

Just a "heads-up," Clansman Knitwear is part of the St. Kilda (kilt and accessories)/Viking Technologies (web supply)/Tartan Web (info) group (which also own all the ----- Themes internet shops). All in all, I thing the "group" has 17 different entities involved. They are also the MANUFACTURER of many OTHER companies' stock as well. So, their stuff itself is pretty decent.

Are you sure of that MacWage? I have had many dealings with the Viking Tech groups over the past few years, and while they are not perfect, I have always been happy in the end. They have certainly not been given the continuous reviews that have plagued Clansman knitwear, nor have they shown the general disregard that Clansman has apparently shown to many on this board and other kilt boards (by their accounts).

Twice now I have seen people say that some crap company is part of the Viking tech group, but in my discussions with a few people at Tartanweb and at Scottishkilts, I has only ever shown these companies which were identified to me in an email.

We do have a number
of sites, which we will be tying together through a "Tartan Web" portal site
shortly. To clarify our sites are: -

http://scottishkilts.net
http://www.scottishthemes.com
http://www.tartanweb.com
http://www.masonicthemes.com
http://www.irishkilts.net
http://www.gifts-scotland.com

Where have you seen that Clansman is part of Viking Technologies, or Tartanweb? St. Kilda is a kiltmaking (and others) firm that lends their services to many companies not just the one or two. It's part of Gaelic Themes if I am not mistaken. Somehow I don't think the kilt hose I got from Gaelic themes at a few different locations, have anything to do with Clansman knitwear, as he sounds like a small fish in a big pond that can't deliver the good he orders from other sources.

For what it's worth, my 8 yard 16oz handsewn was made by St.Kilda (ordered throught Scottishkilts.net) and it's a friggin' beauty! Very well made kilt.
