Ravenswood Leather kilt

No problem Rocky, Robert answered the question for wool and it is probably true for the PV Casual also.

Steve, I have been accused of falling out of the family tree on my head a time or two.

Subject: An idea on closing out order 2866 - the Blue kilt

Hi guys,

I would like to return this kilt and close the order. I would also like to donate $300 to the cost of producing the two kilts - prototyping in leather ain't cheap!
Hopefully the kilts will fit someone at the events you attend. I would like to know when you have the bugs worked out. This last one would have looked great if it had fit.

Anyway, I paid $865.50 less 10% or 778.95. Less the $300 donation brings it to $478.95 refund.
If this will work for you guys. I will send the kilt back UPS in the next few days.
Thank you for your efforts and good luck,

Chuck Holm

I'm in the IT business, not the garment business, but there is a simple way for him to keep his patent and "enforce" it too if he wanted to.

He could license the patent to "competitors" for one dollar and still retain the rights to the patent. This would allow the "competitors" to use the pleat pattern and yet the license could be revoked if there is some shoddy company out there putting out garbage work.

I understand why some companies keep and enforce patents. I think that the UK guys are doing this for "the right reasons", but their execution is the problem. The biggest problem is that the "patent trolls" who buy and create patents but do not actually create any products are the real problem. They're really just legalized extortionists.
