Perhaps a little odd, but beautifully turned out

I was just wondering if they ordered their stuff from the crappy suppliers in Pakistan!

Not all 'highland related' goods coming our of Pakistan are crappy. I'll give you that most I've come across are, but not all. I had custom cap badges (for glengarries) made in Pakistan some years ago and they were very good quality and made of solid brass.

I also know some other people who have purchased highland/pipeband gear/accoutrements from Pakistan are were very happy at the quality/price.

From my own experience, glengarries bought from there have an awful tendency to start dripping black colour all down your face and clean shirt on a rainy day!!

I've also seen samples of a sporran and a waistbelt/buckle from a company in Canada before, samples that had originated in Pakistan and they were awful.

Clearly (bad) copies of ones made by Wm Scott & Sons, the sporran maker in Edinburgh.....but nothing like the same quality. I subsequently paied a bit more and received excellent service and quality items originating from Scotts. Hopefully did my bit to keep a genuine Scottish craftsman in business.

I very much doubt it. They are after all Hindu. They very likely had much of it made in India.
