Problems with Cilt coming apart

[Calgacus]

If the item in question is what I think it is, it's a 5 yard 13oz 100% wool kilt. Maybe the OP can confirm whether it is hand stitched or machine stitched, but as it is described as a 'casual kilt' I'm going to assume machine stitched.

Now, I can buy a machine stitched 8 yard 13oz wool kilt here in Aberdeen for £350, from the largest kilt retailer in town, so I'd say the OP paid pretty much the going rate, or maybe a little more, given that his is a 5 yard kilt. £425 gets me an 8 yard 16oz hand stitched 'tank'.

So, for £300 I'd expect a properly constructed quality garment that isn't starting to fall apart after a few wears.

As an aside, the seller's website currently lists the 5 yard casual kilt at £249, so did the OP pay over the odds, or does he actually have something other than a 5 yard casual kilt? Either way, I'd expect a properly constructed garment for that amount of money.

I think the price showing may not include VAT? In any case I paid over £300 including postage to Spain. They have now asked for my card details to issue a full refund minus carriage. If they do issue it, I shall then think about getting an 8 yard done elsewhere with the same tartan.
