    You would think they would have given them a press before the models donned them - even GB do that!

    A small request here....

    Reach into your sporran and extract a coin. Hold it in your hand and examine it closely...... Do you see that there are two sides?

    Hand made wool tanks are fantastic and very useful.

    That does not mean that low cost man-made kilts are bad and of no use.... They are good, if for no other reason than it will get a few more people in a kilt. They serve well for changing the oil or bar hopping as well.

    Look into thy inner self.

    Inside - outside

    More - less

    Left - right

    Up - down

    right - wrong

    good - bad

    Front - back

    Grant - the world

    There are two sides to everything.......

    It seems it's just not kilts that are going cheap these days. It looks like any type of clothing that can be made cheaper and in mass quanities is hitting the market.
    And as some have said, it has up sides and then there are down sides. In my opinion, just my opinion, I would rather spend on quality. I feel bad for craftsmen sometimes.
