That's really funny that you mention this. I ordered my 13 ounce kilt from this Ben guy and it was machine stitched. I called to complain and was told the exact same thing. My custom kilt got mixed in with their rental department. Mr. Fay wasn't helpful with me personally. I was a little miffed so I checked out their rental department. It's all Irish National, Dress Gordon, Black Watch, Royal Stewart and I think he rents Saltire too. How exactly did my MacPherson Modern get mixed up with those tartans??? Thats one of the main reasons I want to get my formal kilt from a reputable place. It's not a tartan that looks good with machine stitching. The owner said he was sorry and was willing to send me a free t-shirt. Uh. Thanks.
