Am I the only one here who actually owns one of their kilts? Gosh, this is provoking more discussion and speculation than the IOS can of worms...(laughing.)

I'm not trying to add fuel to the fire, but want to make some final comments before I let this one rest.

As I said previously, I bought, paid for, and received exactly what I expected...I did not feel any more misled nor confused by the listing that I do by many other online sellers including some who have advertised here on X Marks.

The postage to the US a couple years back was about $40, I believe, making it in line with other overseas costs. They clearly state their postage charges.

The term "acrylic wool" is used freely by the industry, and in some cases/cultures "wool" is a generic term ( think "cotton wool," or "sticking plaster," for instance, neither of which is wool nor plaster as we usually think it.) It seems less devious that the unwarranted use of the term poly-viscose or PV to denote any synthetic kilt.

And it's quite a nice-looking kilt! I enjoy mine. I own everything from first generation Sportkilts to USAKs to SWKs to UKs to handsewn tanks. Each has its place. Well, if I built a bigger closet each would have its place...

Thanks, Moosedog

Pakistan, Indian manufacturers and sold Australian goods

I was surfing on eBay and found a BLACK COWHIDE LEATHER SPORRAN from 'Pakistan' at 43USD/49AUD

The LEATHER SPORRAN is like Highland Inspirations LEATHER SPORRANS BLACK FUR WITH CELTIC KNOT DESIGN CANTLE and BLACK FUR WITH TARGE CENTRE Priced at 106USD/120AUD

As I said they like to markup prices for e.g. like this one above 62USD/70AUD extra not including P&H.

You as a consumer are getting goods from Pakistan anyway. So why not get them from the country of origin.

If Highland Inspiration were honest and declare where they are getting their goods from i.e. Pakistan or India consumers would know that there goods are of the same quality and standards from Pakistan or India because the goods come from there. Vendors like Highland Inspirations are getting their goods for these countries and marking up prices 150%.

Why are they still on the market???

This is where vendors like Highland Inspirations get their goods made:

PARAMOUNT INTERNATIONAL
2ND FLOOR , PICTURE ROAD ,
MOOSA LANE , KARACHI
KARACHI, SINDH
Pakistan 74000

Send them your thread count, color designs and get the goods produced half the prices as hunter-retail.com

It will be truly 'exclusive' to you at half the price on eBay via Highland Inspirations.
