    more demand, more kilt makers, more competition, less cost, got to love capitalism.

    They talk a good game, but they don't show any prices - that I could find anyway.

    Yep. No prices. Nothing about materials, size, length. Guess the only way to find out is to e-mail.

    beware

    I don't trust any one or company that uses the word "dynamic" to describe themselves or products.Dynamic is an inflation word to give body where there is none.

    If you click on the pictures you can see closeups of the kilts. Quite frankly, they look almost indistinguishable from the cheap throw-away Pakistani imports on eBay. I was particularly disturbed by the almost perfectly rectangular apron and the very noticeable and odd hemline on the rightside of the upper apron. At the top it is quite far from the edge and then it angles to a slender hem on the bottom. It is very visually distracting.

    I have no idea what they charge, but I'd be willing to bet that a SWK would be a better deal for the money. Still made in Pakistan but at least it's of good quality.

    Talking Hmmmmmmmmmm....

    I could swear I've seen this site before, but with a different moniker... something other than McKilts... and I'm pretty sure we've discussed it before on this site... searching for 'McKilts' turned up nuthin... Must be too late at night, and I'm dreamin of that Loud McLeod I got off eBay this week...

    I wouldn't trust a kiltmaker named "McKilts"... How cheap can you make your company name to sound?

    Hamish had written something about this company before, but it wasn't anything positive about it.

    Those kilts look to me like the ugliest school girl's skirts I've ever seen.

    And if these are the best pictures they can do... they need a new marketing manager.
