I purchased an 8 yard kilt from Highland Inspirations here in Australia. As the kilt is acrylic wool, it is lighter to wear. Personally, I find it more comfortable to wear than my worsted wool kilt, and particularly if I am wearing it all day at an event. I was very pleased with the quality.

Acrylic wool? From acrylic sheep, I presume?

Do I dream of acrylic sheep?

Perhaps real sheep grazing artificial turf.

I think I've figured out where marbles come from.

BTW, I've got a SWK and I'm very happy with it. Highly recommended. Go for the HI's kilt if your on the fence. If your wife resists, not much of a loss. If she likes it, buy other kilts, and wear the HI kilt for house work, chores, painting, emergency plumbing, and the like.

My casual kilt i just bought off EBay was from Highland Inspirations. If you read my introductory thread i yak on about it a bit. Very prompt service. Pretty happy with it, even though i havent worn it yet because i bought it two sizes too small so i would have to lose weight to wear the thing LOL

Maybe i should be posting in the diet thread

Wool is a wonderful fabric.

It is expensive.

It requires special care.

There are other fabrics available.

These other fabrics do not require special care.

Just what is so special about wool?

EBay store Highland Inspirations sells textile products and articles of apparel including Kilts. This EBay store is not describing the country in which the goods were made or produced. This type of trading Under Australian Customs Laws is against Commonwealth laws and illegal.

Message: Misleading Titles

Sellers are not permitted to create titles for their listings that do not accurately describe the item for sale. I believe Highland Inspirations is using misleading titles to lure eBay buyers to buy Kilts that are made in Asia - and listing Products as Irish, Welsh, Cornish, CORNWALL, Scottish, Scotland. These Products didn't come from these nations and are sold in Australia and all around the world. I believe their listings don’t accurately describe the item for sale.

These are the items below:

The Irish Spirit TartanT
The Manx Spirit TartanT
The Welsh Spirit TartanT
The Cornish Spirit TartanT
Kilt CORNISH SPIRIT TARTAN© Kilts- National CORNWALL
Semi Dress Sporran with Thistle (Scottish, kilts,kilt)
Kilt Hunting Stewart Tartan (Kilts Scottish,bagpipes)
Kilt Gordon Tartan Kilts (Scottish,bagpipes,regimental)
Black Fur Kilt Dress Sporran (Scottish,kilts,piper)
Kilt CELTIC SPIRIT TARTAN© Scottish, Irish Kilts
Kilt WELSH SPIRIT TARTAN© Kilts- National Pride Wales
Kilt THE PATRIOT TARTAN© Kilts - sporran, Scottish
Kilt SCOTTISH PATRIOT TARTAN© -National Pride Scotland

These Kilts are not from the UK and shouldn't be allowed to use misleading titles under Commonwealth Laws including Australia.

The location says the items are in Australia. They make no claim as to where their items are made, but then neither to over 90% of other e-bay sellers. yeah these are probably cheap Asian kilts, but I don't see any claim that they are not.
