And you know what? I shouldn't be on this thread out of respect for both Union Kilts and UK

And yet another instance of the outstanding integrity and respect that the kilt makers on this board have for each other!

If the thread is in an ASSIGNED SECTION (like the Freedom Kilts section or the Union Kilts section or USAK section), then the topic SHOULD BE ABOUT that sponsor. We PAY to have those sections, so they SHOULD be about us. I'm not trying to be snotty, just trying to get what I pay for.

You're a stand up guy... I don't see you stepping out of line... much.

I payed my monies this month too so I have my own little spot here as well....
Stepping out of line?... more like running and ducking
Oops sorry guys I forgot to close the door on my way out ;)

If someone ELSE brings your name / company up in a thread about another company and it's in a NEUTRAL category (general kilt talk, etc), then you're not to fault.

If you're responding to such a post (good / bad / indifferent), it's legit.

It's when someone posts in another's section or someone comes up and toots their own horn in someone else's thread that it is in poor taste... ie. If you came up here and were the second person to post and said "I make solids TOO... Here's my company's info... This is how much they cost... yada yada yada..." THEN you'd be at fault. As far as I am concerned, you're giving info and feedback to this thread (not just "trolling for customers"). You're addressing points directly that involve you.

You're a stand up guy... I don't see you stepping out of line... much.

Well said.

Utilikilts are having problems keeping up with demand and Union Kilts has some pretty nice looking products.

They look like Utilikilts but for anyone who has owned both - do they feel and act like Utilikilts? How is their quality and customer service?

It appears they are in England. Any difficulties with ordering if you are on the "wrong" side of the ocean?
