5 yard kilt

[User]

So, there isn’t anywhere to send it in and have it tested ? I don’t do good testing things, my expertise does not include cloths.

If you like, you can put some threads in an envelope and mail them to me. I can test them and share the video with you.

The test is extremely simple. Pour some regular bleach into a container (glass, melamine, or most ceramics should be fine). Then find a loose thread on the kilt and put it in the bleach. You can often find good threads on the bottom of the fringe, or near the waist if the pleats have been cut out. You don't want to remove anything that would damage the kilt. You don't need much thread for the test.

No problem will do. One question though, if it fails the test what is the next step? Just want to be prrepared.

That's a great question. It's up to you to decide what you want to do. I can give general advice, but they're your kilts and it's your decision.
One option is to do nothing. A lot of people own synthetic kilts. If you still like them, and you're okay with them being synthetic, then no action needs to be taken.

Even if you don't plan on taking any action if they're fake, I still think there's value in testing them, so you and others know if UTKilts is being honest, or if they should be avoided in the future. It will also tell you if you need to care for your kilts as wool.
Right now, four "wool" UTKilts have been tested from three buyers, and all have been synthetic. Your kilts could also be fake, adding to the evidence against UTKilts, or they could be real wool.

Another option if the kilts are fake is to request a refund from UTKilts. Depending on their condition, how long ago you purchased them, and UTKilts fear of repercussions for selling fakes, they may approve the refund. If they deny the refund, you could pursue legal action against UTKilts through small claims court. I believe the statute of limitations for such a claim is 4 years in Utah, where UTKilts is based. That means you have 4 years from your purchase date to file against them in court. Disclaimer: I'm not a lawyer, and cannot give legal advice.
I would like to point out that fraud is illegal, and just because a product is used and no longer in resalable condition doesn't protect a seller who has committed fraud in the sale.

Honestly, I expect they would refund you. If they don't, and you win against them in court, it would set a precedent against them, which could be far more costly than accepting a return.

I'll PM you my address. If you change your mind and don't want to test your kilts, that's fine. I understand that some people would rather not know.
Personally, I crave the truth, be it good or bad.
