    Those 8-yard Heavy Polyviscose kilts

    Recently I posted pics of an 8-yard PV kilt which I had bought from Gold Brothers, in a modern fashion tartan called grey Hamilton.
    At the price (under £30) I had assumed they were made in Pakistan so I was surprised to discover that they are made in Galashiels, Scotland by a company called Hamilton Products who advertise them on ebay as available "direct from our factory in Galashiels" (E-bay seller tartan54)

    I bought another of these kilts in solid black. It arrived this morning and was immediately pressed into snow clearing duties, so that I can get Ann out from the house to the car and take her out for the day tomorrow.

    I am impressed with the pleating of these kilts, with as many pleats as you get on a much more expensive kilt, so I immediately ordered a third one, this next one will be in Heritage of Scotland tartan.

    Another view of the grey Hamilton for comparison.
