    Ask and ye shall receive

    When I get into the store this morning, I'll take some photos and post them.

    Don't get me wrong with the acrylics. I have never seen, first hand, any of the SWC kilts, although, when I can afford to spend some money on myself, I'm definitely looking at getting one.

    They [SWC kilts] are probably completely different from the samples I've received. From what I have read and heard when talking to folks, they are all extremely good. In fact, I had hoped to carry a line of their kilts in the store, but when I contacted them, they weren't set up to wholesale.

    Again, the samples I did receive, from Pakistani companies...actually seemed to be "made" well, I'm just not a fan of the fabric. Some of my customers have looked at them and mentioned that they seem ok for a casual kilt. I just thought the fabric looked and felt more like a heavy flannel.

    Let me know what you think. Every that has seen them in the store and worn them has liked them. I'm always interested in in constructive feedback.

    Ok, in disregard to original thread matter, but it's steel interesting discussion. Anyways, my personal opinion that for this moment at least kilts are s not a national madness in general and U don't see people lining up in the kilt store to buy one. Plus there's no tendency in this direction at least for the next 5 years or so, otherwise We're able to see kilt sections in the network (stores like The Bay) by the X-mas and there are non. So for as now kilts are for the bunch of enthusiasts, special occasions and tourists. So opening retail store outside tourist's routs bad idea, I'm not saying it'll not work out, don't get me wrong, but.....
    As a customer I'd love to have such place with multiple tag lines in my location, to have chance to try it on and then pay for it, not visa versa. And there's more - best fitted and looking kilt is the one, custom made, by someone who knows.
