Legitimate??

**Kylahullu** · 18th April 14, 03:18 PM

Had a look at The Scottish Trading Company web page. They advertise for $89.99 a kilt in 16oz heavy weight poly viscose, imported from Scotland. This reminded me of seeing something about the existence of 16oz poly viscose:

Nothing to do with being legitimate or not but interesting, maybe.

Matt, appreciate your response. Tough finding info, and as we all know, the internet can be a risky place in this day and age.

I have done business with these guys many, many times over the years. The pricing is as it should be for the items they sell. They have been adding to their inventory of the years to, so the choices are more and they are getting higher quality too. I highly recommend and endorse this company. If I am correct, I believe Mael Coluim has bought from this company too.

I have bought stuff from this company also and never had a problem.

As an aside - Matt from "The Scottish Trading Company" has requested our advertising prospectus and may be joining our other advertisers in the near future.

I have purchased quite a few items from " The Scottish Trading Company " ... never a problem and I have always been pleased with their service .

One more satisfied customer. While I have only purchased a few accessories from these folks, the items were as advertised and service was prompt. They also have a few items that I have not seen elsewhere.

Matt and Jenny of The Scottish Trading Company are frequent vendors at the Highland Games and Festivals in the State of Virginia. I have been buying from them the last seven years and can attest to great customer service, quality products at a fair price. When I joined XMTS they were an advertiser here. They have the MC Seal of Approval!

Such kilts are great entry kilts for many entering the kilted world. Matt will take your measurements for a fine quality wool kilt made in Scotland if that be your preference.

Well, I might have been unclear, sorry my English.

My preference is that if I buy something advertised as a kilt in 16oz heavy weight poly viscose, I do want to get a kilt in 16oz heavy weight poly viscose, not something else. If such thing does not exist, I do not buy anything from that advertiser, or recommend anyone else to do it. You will never know what you get. Low price is no excuse.

The kilt might be a fine "entry kilt", but is it made of 16oz heavy weight poly viscose. If not, there is an ugly word for that... But even unintended mistakes do happen sometimes, even to advertisers.
