    Just out of curiosity. What mill does your poly viscose come from?

    There are many talented people on this site who give of their time and knowledge freely so that newbies like me get the right information to be able to make informed decisions. And to them, we are grateful even though we don't always say it.

    An informed decision does not necessarily mean a hand made and (to some) an expensive kilt. I personally opted for a Burnett and Struth hand made 13 oz kilt for my first kilt but if the "try a cheaper model to see if I like it" plan works for you then who is to critize it?

    So I think some of us have to get our nose out of the sky. I e-mailed the guy and he responded promptly and honestly and invited me to see his inventory when he gets it. I think we have to give him a chance and then wait for the feedback/reviews from poeple who have purchased his product. He may not have the polished manners of seasoned kilt makers/sellers yet or fancy web site but a guy has to start somewhere.

    He seems to be taking any criticism constructively and I say let's give him a chance to see what he can do.

    That's exactly what I was thinking. I don't see him getting defensive in his last post, and in general, this thread has moved toward acknowledging differences of opinion and preferences, so my hat is off to all of you.

    I've been looking trough some web sites, and found something interesting.

    http://www.allscottish.ca/Scotland's...ltire-Kilt.php

    It says: "This infamous kilt is a genuine wool kilt designed and manufactured in Scotland by John Morrison, a well established Scottish kiltmaker."

    We all know that John Morrison was a good man, but now the Gold Bros have taken over his name. Just wanted to tell you this to make any toughts about about where it comes from clear.
