    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

    You know I once had a sweater...this is years ago now, that I liked very much. It was a grey, sleeveless, cable sweater-vest. On the inside of the label, it told me what the sweater was made of, and to this day, I remember it.

    I'd hate to know what they do to it to make acrylic lose its virginity!

    Of course, I've seen Virgin Wool and that makes me wonder about what they do to the rest of the sheep.

    I think that this is because acrylic can be recyled from previous incarnations like plastic bottles and other garments. It's to let you know that your fabric wasn't a 2 liter Coke bottle before it got made into a sweater. I seem to remember that the folks who pioneered the original polar fleece material used recyled acrylic to make it.

    Highland Inspirations using misleading titles.

    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.

    Description:

    http://stores.ebay.com.au/Highland-Inspirations

    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.
