Robert,
I feel for you in many ways. There have been many threads and many posts here on X-marks about the "Designed in Scotland" kilts from such vendors as "Heritage of Scotland" all of which come down to Certified Real Atrocios Products. These are poorly made knock offs of tartan kilts.
These same Pakistani businesses have invaded other areas with their fraud. I am a student of the Great Highland Bagpipes. I searched for a practice chanter that would be of superior quality, that would last me the rest of my life. There are known several very reputable Pipe makers in Scotland and In Canada. The advert was for one made by a very reputable maker in Scotland. The product I received was packaged with very well forged emblems of this maker and the packaging was an exact copy of this company's work. The instrument was poorly made and did not have any of the supposed makers areas of quality. It was another Pakistani forgery.
I have learned my expensive lesson. I deal directly with the maker of the product I am after. I have since purchased a chanter directly from this pipe maker, and am delighted with the quality and performance. I also purchased a second chanter directly from a pipe maker in Canada that is also to my delight.
I hope today that most people would use the internet to find the real source of their desired product and go direct, thereby shorting out the possibility of getting one of these frauds. If my desire is for an R-kilt, it will be to you that the order is placed. When it comes to kilts, a reseller can not match the result of a custom bespoke kilt..Period.
I hope that you can persuade your neighbour to stop the charade. If not, I propose that we get as many X-Markers as possible to take a vacation in beautiful Ontario Province. That we take many scenic walks in his community kilted in quality kilts. Should we find the residence of this person, we should bring together all the Pipers and all the Drummers that we can find. "and bring the pipes together by the rising of the moon."
