These are very poorly made Pakastani kilts... Most of the time the pattern in the back isn't even to the stripe or the sett... It is just pleated, and poorly. These are the exact same sorts of kilts being sold by dozens of other ebay vendors... They are even using the same product picture.

Spend a few pennies more and get a Stillwater, which is at least made well and comes from a reputable vendor.

Thanks for the warning Dread.

While some pakistan kilts as poorly made, we do not do business with those weavers.

Mark, I'm glad you chimmed in.

I'm curious about your solid black kilts. Do they have the shadow tartan in them or are they just solid black? Also, are your kilts available in wool or are they all acrylic?

Best of luck and welcome to the neighborhood

I also did the corps and the ANG, Air Traffic Control and Cavalry Scout respectively.

Just a general note about the bagpipes we sell. Earlier a gentlemen made the comment he would not waste his money on buying a bagpipe from us. I agree with him, He is a piper and most likely has a wonderful pipe made from a wonderful wood like african black wood or another wood of that nature and most likely paid $700-$4000 for his pipe.

We are not competing in this market. Although we can buy some wonderful african blackwood pipes they are just too much money to stock.

Bagpipes are like any other musical instrument, your first one most likely will not be a top of the line $5000 hand made model. I play guitar -my first guitar was a used Yamaha, years later I purchased an ibanez performance model. The bagpipes we sell are excellent for the beginner or the person that wants to give playing the pipes a try. The most expensive pipes we have are around $135...so for the person that is interested in learning, these are a great buy and at a price that would make any Scot smile...

A note to anybody interested in learning pipes: I would NOT recommend learning pipes like this. It takes A LOT of time on the practice chanter to get the fingerings down, then after a ot of hard work and dedication, you buy a quaity set of pipes that will last you your entire career. Of course, you may buy nicer looking pipes eventually, but bagpipes for $135 at the most?!?! Seems really iffy to me.

If it was me, I'd buy these pipes for wall decoration and that's it. Anybody who plays bagpipes knows it takes FAR too much work and dedication to play a cheap set of pipes.
