Perhaps they noticed that I have yet to post my own kilt details. . . but failed to notice the "hand-crafted in US" proviso! I will say that their English is undoubtedly better than my Pakistani

The owner of another forum asked, so I'll share what I told him. I have decided to offer only RK-pleat kilts and am putting final touches on the design. I hope to have photos, measurement data, ordering instructions and so forth posted after Thanksgiving.

Meantime there are lots of in-stock cuffs posted, I'm working up several custom orders and sending out color charts! [/shameless self-promotion]

That is RK as in reverse Kingussie?

It is the design I settled on some years ago, after trying various options, including the Kingussie, and I have not been tempted to try any other style for my everyday kilts.

I have some fabric that I want to make into something posh and the box pleat or military box pleat have suggested themselves, but - I don't know if they will ever materialise or if it will be the RK all the way.

I get e-mails all the time from them about bagpipes -- and I don't even have a store!

Best thing to do is "Mark as Spam" and forget about it.

Odd,

They used to make adaptive outerwear, just like us. At least that is what they told us they could do. They were even willing to make it just like ours, all we needed to do was send samples. I do recall the use of the word 'cripples' in their inquiry.

So, exactly how does one go about manufacturing and exporting bagpipers?

Caught that, but also noted that their English is STILL better than my Pakistani.

Problem with manufacturing bagpipers is, if you haven't had much practice at it, they sound. . . well. . . unpracticed!

That was actually going to be my comment!!

Ooooh... pricey.

They had those Peruvian Pan Pipe players on South Park, which Pan Pipe by name denotes Greco-roman Pan. Though I cringe to think of seeing Pakistani Bagpipers on every street corner....

I for one hope so, as the name is very close to my brand name RKilts or as some on this board refer to my kilts as RK
