If you look at a website's 'About us' page, it should be about them, not info about their products, deals, or a bunch of links, otherwise they're probably not legit, which is the case for Gold Bros.
Blimey! People may not like what the Gold Bros make or how they go about selling it but that's a far cry from accusations that they are not 'legit'. By not legit, I assume you imply trading illegally. I offer NO legal advice here but for the love of common sence. You can choose whether or not you wish to do business with a company based on the information they present (or do not present) on a website but I would be wary of stating a company was not operating legally based on an impression from same.
Gold Bros Stores and websites are listed on this weblink
It should be noted that there are lots of other businesses that re-sell Heritage of Scotland products, for example: The Scotland Kilt Company, Macdonald Sporrans and the casual kilts sold on Carse of Gowrie (ebay) among many others so there isn't an easy way to judge, though from a British perspective if it's an online kilt and costs between 30 and 60 quid and calls itself 16oz Poly Viscose / casual / football / beer, chances are it's a Gold Bros kilt.
I suppose we all have choice. You either like them or you don't. They are not expensive and they are definately not wool. I wouldn't say their kilts were crap, they are not good quality but there is definately a lot worse out there. You pays your money, you takes your chances... Read what it says you are buying before you buy it. If in doubt ask the seller outright where his kilts are sourced and what they are made of; any reticence? walk away... And if after all that, what you receive is not what it says on the tin, send it back demanding a refund.
If you want a quick and easy kilt-like garment these will do. If you want a real kilt, you'd better start saving... If you wan't something for less than 30 quid you really are looking for crap...
Didn't we have a Lady Member join us recently to present the Gold Bros side of things?
