Nor does it instill me with confidence either.

It must be that Queen's English we hear so much about. Colour instead of color, and neighbour instead of neighbor, and going to hospital, etc.

Having lived and worked in Japan for the past 6+ years, let me tell you that all things are relative, and relatively speaking (compared to Japan) the English on this website is impeccable! I have a fair bit of tolerance for websites in countries where English isn't necessarily lingua franca, and where they may not have the resources (financial and otherwise) to employ a proofreader/editor. Having done proofreading/editing work myself, I know it doesn't come cheap! (On the other hand, if a Pakistani website offered me some in-kind payment -- say barter some proofreading/editing for a nice kilt, well a-hey! I probably wouldn't turn it down...) :-) Anyway....

Every company is different, but so far, I've had a pretty good experience with Pakistan. I've had several kilts, a Prince Charlie, sporran, and (non-kilt-related) a set of prescription eyeglasses all come from Pakistan and I've been EXCEEDINGLY happy with the product, quality, and customer service in each circumstance. I have a review up somewhere on this site about my dealings with a Pakistani kilt seller.

I would be more than happy to give this company a try, but right now I'm being VERY specific in what my next kilt will be. I looked at their site and it looks like they have only a few stock tartans. I already have a Black Watch and I'm not interested in a Royal Stewart.... At the moment I'm looking for either a Thomson Camel or other earth-toned color tartan in a 5-yd wool (casual for summer). I would consider poly-v instead of wool but only if the price were right. But I don't think this company had anything that would fit that description....

Cheers,

Jim
