    Yup, and that is why I showed you how to determine the weight of fabric for your self.
    Any site that offers a 16oz synthetic fabric should be viewed with a critical eye. As of today, there is no 16oz synthetic kilt fabrics anywhere in the world.
    These kilts are made in Pakistan. The city of Sailkot to be exact. Most people do not know that Saikot, Pakistan is the largest producer of kilts and other Highland style wear in the world.
    But as the Pakistani's are not familiar with Scottish culture or heritage you would expect some misunderstandings. They see other sites advertise kilt fabric as being 16oz as the standard for highest quality. So they do the same. It is a similar thing to the use of P/V. There are sites that advertise P/V kilts with pride. Without fully understanding what P/V means the Pakistani's adopted the phrase and applied it to almost any synthetic fabric.

    To be honest I really didn't care if they was made in Pakistan or anywhere else, just wanted something that wasn't going to break me to see if it was me. I just got into Kilts late June early July. Bought a few low budget Kilts to make sure this was something I felt good with. Wasn't wanting to throw out $600 to get a nice Kilt..or should I say Cilt just to find out Cilts wasn't for me. I now own two NICE wool Cilts from Wales where my family came from. I'm really not interested in getting schooled over something that I'm well aware of, I was only replying to Clubbingclown after he posted where to find a Kilt. I never said anything about these being nice, just a low budget Kilt he could buy for little moneys
    I hope I don't have to go through this each time I post something here in your site. Wanting info not drama

    OK, no drama just plain facts.

    This forum is famous for its members answering questions from other members with provable, factual information.

    You recommended a seller and repeated inaccurate advertising. You then said that you knew the information was inaccurate.

    Some instructions were offered in response. Specifically how to confirm and verify advertised information.

    It is not, and never was, about you or your choices. Only about getting good, factual information, to a member with a question that they felt important enough to ask here with the expectation that they would get good answers.
