Is that the buyout price or the opening bid price? In any event, makes sense to close out the inventory that was supposed to be wool but turned out not to be. Got to recover some of the money invested I suppose.

What is 100% PolyViscose?????

Poly/Viscose is a blend of Polyester and Rayon.

That is exactly what was advertised when I bought my 100% wool. Same photos just this description does not say wool and does not say "new with tags."

Off topic: All the Ebay kilt items I bid on are bid by people with x***x screen names. Is this an Xmarker fad?

Strange - is exactly what I saw & bought starting $15 lower bid and $5 lower shipping but then it was said to be wool.

Nothing strange about it. Those pictures are plainly of a Gold Bros. "Black Watch" kilt. If that, indeed, is what is being sold, then I believe the material should be acrylic. At least he's clear now that they're not wool.

Well is claiming 100% polyviscose make it better?

**Morris at Heathfield** · 29th May 09, 09:05 PM

It's much better than calling it wool, in my opinion. But that's just my opinion, and I'm probably something of a wool snob.

As I see it, there's one of two things happening here. One, AllScottish is still not entirely clear on the difference between acrylic and polyviscose. (I'll give him the benefit of the doubt that he's not being dishonest.) Two, he actually is selling a polyviscose kilt, but hasn't bothered to actually take pictures of it, and is using photos from another kilt, presumably one he sold some time earlier. If the former case is true, he needs to learn to distinguish acrylic from polyviscose post-haste. It's part of his responsibility as a reseller to know the product he's selling. If the latter case is true, he needs to take pictures of the product he's actually selling.

I suppose there's a third possibility that I'm wrong, and there are, in fact, polyviscose kilts in the tartan pictured in the auction. I rather doubt it, though.
