Pride of Scotland - Wool Blend
Have any of the experts got a view on this kilt which is currently on British e-bay in a variety of sizes?

This seller has been offering the cheap polyester Mercy kilts on e-bay for some time but this latest offering looks like better quality for the money.

I can definitely speak to his service. The Mercy kilts came in VERY quickly from him. I'd be interested in hearing what people have to say about this one as well....I asked him about these kilts before to see if he coudl tell me who makes them and I can check my email string at home to see what he said if you'd like

That's what I'm sending a few of mine to the fabulous Matt in North Carolina for hemming....

Yes, David, an inch on the long side for me and it would be sacrilege to cut or hem so I'll give this one a miss.

I would be worried, very worried, by the fact that virtually everything this seller lists is aimed at the Goth market. Having said that, I do like the look of the tartan although I suspect the colouring will be rather 'gaudy' in reality - a friend showed me a similar kilt from this seller, in Royal Stewart, and the colour was eyeball burstingly shocking!! Also, the fringe appears to be unnecessarily deep and will look tatty in a short while.
Just my opinion!

The Royal Stewarts he is selling are the Mercy kilts and of polyester material. You're right in that kilt is very gaudy and very goth/punk oriented. The pictures on the PoS do look VERY bright compared to the PoS kilt that I have but that could be a lighting issue....
