    Re: Kmart's Kilted Korner

    I like your idea, but I see several problems:

    Most of the items sold in Walmart, KMart, Target are made in China. Is that what you want?

    The overall market for these items will be very small. While they are of big interest to us, we are actually a tiny group. How many people do you see wearing kilts?

    Would you find your family's rare tartan on a rack in your exact size? Only if the merchant wanted to lose a lot of money.

    And, of course, this is what destroys local businesses.

    Sorry, don't mean to be so negative, but --

    That's one way to say it. I've also been called an elephant.

    I showed the picture of my buckle to a couple of my students today (during my burrito time) and one of them said, "Wait a minute...it's a D and B and an H all together!"

    She's a senior.

    Re: Kmart's Kilted Korner

    HEY I guess it’s my job to stand up for the “LOWER PRICE KILTS” first of all some of our advertisers on this forum Sell those kilts you are calling “CRAP”. Second not all of us can afford 300 plus dollars each for a custom made kilt. I have several Pakistan made kilts and I like them just fine especially when I can buy 3-5 of then for the price of one custom made kilt. No I don’t think they are as high a quality as a custom wool but they are not CRAP and you should not criticize those of us who like them and wear them.
