    you get what you pay for

    I'm not one to use high price tags as a surrogate indicator of quality
    but as I said earlier " YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR "
    I personally have bought from this company's store in Fife and been more than satisfied with what i have purchased.

    this thread made me laugh!

    or rather the mental image that popped into my head, of taking a new kilt, crumpling it up, lighting it on fire, throwing lye and chlorine on it...

    Yes this is a hilarious thought. I can see a whole new meaning to a kilt check. Xmarkers don't care what one wears under a kilt. We just want to know if it's wool or not.

    Add this to our series of tests - access to a microscope would reveal if it were wool or not. Wool is hair with its characteristic morphology.

    I am making band kilts out of tartan from Heritage of Scotland. I have no complaints about it.
    When the band member's had the same tartan from Lochcarron and Heritage on the table, they chose Heritage because it was a better price and there wasn't a 14 week wait. And we are talking modern mackenzie, not some off the wall tartan. Looks, feels and presses the same to me....but I am ALWAYS learning here.
