Changing times......

It's all down to quality-- if you shop wisely and well you can certainly find products made in India/Pakistan that are the equal to those made in the USA or UK. The problem is finding those suppliers. Short of going there, dealing via the internet is pretty much a crap shoot. That's why most of us bite the bullet, and pay the price.

Sadly you only get what you pay for and I hope you at least get a good quality kilt. For the rest buy what you can afford but don't expect them to last too long. Sometimes it isn't always a saving in the long term and with the dollar dropping in value anything imported is bound to be expensive.

This is very well said.
I've got some stuff from Pakistan and India that was wonderful quality and I was very happy with.
Other stuff I have regretted wasting my money on.

Sometimes it is safer to just buy the more expensive products, but sometimes it is worth the risk.
A delicate balance, I suppose.


I am glad you are ready to take up your pipes again and I wish you well with it.

Hopefully your daughter will appreciate it!
