Ex hire or Pakistan??????

[OC Richard]

I've been quite pleased with the jackets, shoes, and accoutrements that I've ordered from Kilts-4-Less as well.

They appear to have a mix of things. I've seen them sell things which are obviously Pakistani/Indian, and having very carefully worded descriptions. (I've examined some of these things in person.)

Yet they also sell things which they state are "made in Scotland". It's difficult from photos, but some of the ex-hire kilts I've seen them list on Ebay look like they could be UK-made.

Now, for example, they're listing on Ebay a number of Prince Charlies that they state are Scottish-made. What gives me pause is the label they show says merely "Heritage Scotland" which implies, but does not state, where the jacket was made.

I did ask Kilts4Less, and they responded with the following:

As the Jacket listing below the name Heritage of Scotland is the name of a liquidated highland dress manufacturer. We purchased all their stock when they closed over a year ago.
They were located in Glasgow Scotland and all goods were made onsite at their factory. They were called Heritage Clothing UK.

I see that the above notice sheds no light on the precise nature of Heritage of Scotland's business.

Heritage Of Scotland is an Ebay seller of Pakistani goods:

(Note the carefully worded description, with no mention of where the stuff was made.)

I just checked, Heritage of Scotland's site still functions. It's obvious that these are Pakistani kilts; their casual kilt is 15 pounds, their "full deluxe kilt" is 49 pounds!
