    haha... I dunno - some people take influence from the select number of Gold Brothers shops who have the pleats to the front on their manikins outside! Or it may be the old "right - that's me got the kilt on"
    someone else: "are the pleats not supposed to be at the front?"
    "oh right..."

    Sometimes people who think they know best are a bad influence!
    It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom -- for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself.

    I can assure you this does not happen in ANY of our shops. We've recently launched a staff training programme and - believe me - they know what they sell.

    In the defense of the shops: perhaps they just wanted to show off the pleats instead of the apron. That is where the magic happens anyway.

    However, on the other hand we have all seen it put on backwards/sideways or any other combination of ways. But atleast they put it on.
