    Hi Heather,

    Just wanted to comment that many (perhaps even most) on the forum have no problem with kilts made of synthetic materials, or imported machine sewn kilts, even if they choose not to purchase them.

    Perhaps the longest-running criticism of some of your employer's products has more to do with the labeling issues associated with the PV kilts (the whole "Scottish Highland KILT Authentic Woven Tartan - Designed in Scotland" thing.) The PV Gold Bros. kilts I've seen for sale here in the states seem to be well made and a good value otherwise.

    Best regards,

    Jake

    Polyviscus kilts

    One of my kilts is a woollen 16oz kilt kilt made by Heritage, and it is a fine kilt, my other kilts are hand made by our local kilt maker, and the quality of the Heritage is almost as good as them, the price being less of course.
    So, I agree with those that say you get what you pay for, personally, I think it is great that most people who want a kilt, can now afford one, and they are not as exclusive as they once were.
    I personally wouldn't wear one of their cheap kilts, but then I wouldn't go to a football match either, if I did, I agree with the comment that I wouldn't like to wear an expensive kilt to some of these outings anyway.
    It can't be disputed that they have bought kilts to the masses, where they are made, and if if its ethical to call them Scottish is another matter.
    The fact these cheap kilts are on the market, won't stop people like us going for quality I would think ??
