Hello,
We can only relate to you an experience by one of our customers. They purchased a kilt kit from Linda Clifford. The cost was $405.00. After the customer had cut the material and then realized how poor the instructions provided were, she contacted Linda Clifford. She said that the Linda Clifford Company was not only unsympathetic, but just plain rude, and would not help her in any way. The buyer should have done what you are doing, and done a little homework. However the Linda Clifford Company should have been at least helpful. The fact that you can buy a well made 8 yard kilt for $495.00 makes the idea of the kilt kit impractical. Most people assume that they are saving a great deal of money by making it themselves. We took the customers cut material in on trade and worked with her to get her son a kilt.
