Hot Stuff!

I only wear wool kilts, it is my choise to do that & I can aford to buy one or two a year. I would not wear a cheap acrylic kilt, but there is a place for them ie Football--rugby matches etc. where a wool kilt may get damaged. However, as long as people buy these cheap kilts there will be a market for them & the gold Bros being buisness men will cash in on this market. I would like to see then labelled properly so there is no confusion as to where they as made, but I think that if anyone mistakes these kilts for the genuine article, they deserve all they get.

I've been reading along, and agreeing with some and disagreeing with others... everyone has their right to their own opinion. And, as someone with a business degree, I understand the concept of free enterprise, which is one of the things that makes this country great.

This posting caught my attention, and not in a good way. While other posts were providing some positive spin on things (ie lobbying to change labelling requirements, etc.), they weren't just griping. THIS POSTING, while still his opinion that he is entitled to, just seemed hateful and bitter.

"but I think that if anyone mistakes these kilts for the genuine article, they deserve all they get." That's not even close to the spirit which I think this website is here to encourage! Not everyone on this site can afford a new wool kilt or two every year, and not everyone is as educated in the kilt world as others - newbies can't be expected to know everything right away! If a newbie (on a budget) tried to buy a proper kilt from Scotland, and was mislead, why would anyone say "well, that's what they get"? Why not say, "hey... let me help educate you so you don't get taken again" or "These might be some recourses you have to get this corrected so you can have the kilt you THOUGHT you were buying"...

Just my two cents... I really hate devicivness and snobbery. My theory is if you're gonna complain, offer a positive suggestion to change what you don't like.

Peace!
