If I can get a Poly Viscose kilt for that price to bum around the house in I am sold! But I am getting turned off by the poly-acrylic fabric nowdays.

Also I am not sure I was clear in my other post. I ordered a sgian dubh from allscottish.ca. The photo on his web page of that particular sgian dubh is the same, exact, photo of that sgian dubh on other gold bros. websites. Maybe this will clear some things up.

Do not misunderstand me, I am not knocking him or the company, like I said I have even commited to a purchase if this is truly poly viscose! But I figured some people would like to know he is either affiliated with them, or the company that manufactures that particular sgian dubh sends the same photo to each retailer. hmm could be.

Since he is posting in here at all I would say I'm willing to give the guy a chance. If the seller shows a little interest in his customers I think it's something that could be worth a try.

For the sellers point I think we all on this board find Gold Bros something we very hard try to avoid. We are very conserned to buy anything that has to do with them, hence the critical toughts. If someone gets a kilt or two from this store, I would say it's up to them to convince us that it's good kilts. But please keep in touch in here, and you might get known as a good member of "kilt the world" club.

SNIP... like I said I have even commited to a purchase if this is[I] truly poly viscose.

As a point of clarification, not all Poly Viscose is the same. Different mills make PV material. Some of them are in the UK, some in Canada, some in China and some in Pakistan.

The PV that is used by CCK, FK, NK and USAK is from Marton Mills in the UK. What the Gold Brothers buy are kilts made from PV material woven in Pakistan and China. They ALSO sell less expensive ($30 - $50 pricepoint) Acrylic kilts.

Here's a link tot he Material Comparison Chart on Xmarks to show the differences in the material used:

It's found on the left side of the homepage under 'Xmarks Community'.

This is not meant to be a dividing post or issue, just clarifying.
