Tiresome Technicalities.

[Jock Scot]

Yes indeed, knowing a trusted maker the best way to insure quality.

Here on the internet we have hundreds of newbies who don't have a trusted kiltmaker nearby. They look around the internet where they're bombarded with tat. They've not yet developed the eye, the instincts, to identify quality.

The newcomers' technical questions, and the often tedious answers, inform them.

Yes, it must be difficult for newbies, particularly if they are on a tight budget. All I can and do advise is, "hurry slowly".
