Where to order 37 kilts?

[csbdr]

None of the above.

If you want that many kilts you should contact one of the Pakistani kiltmakers. They are all located in the town of Sialkot, Pakistan, which is in the Pakistani half of the Punjab, but on the border with India. Google the location and some kilt related keywords and you should find several websites, but none of them take online orders. You have to e-mail them for a price list and pay them by international money order. Some of them will go as low as US $12 per kilt if you order at least a dozen, which should overcome the minor inconvenience of not being able to order in a few clicks.

I guess I just gave away the big secret of all the budget kilt vendors!

PS: This is where the above-mentionned vendors get their kilts, so it would be silly to use a middle man. That's all they are.

I don't know if they take Euros. They often give prices in both pounds and dollars, though. My guess is they will, because it's all money!

I'll be straight, "another forum" had a bulk order of kilts made up through a company, who "brokered" the deal to Pakistan and they came out aweful. The company we dealt with, who "brokered" the deal, is well known, and offered to use their contacts with manufacturers there to get a good price. Made the decision on price rather than quality/reputation. Range of issues including no taper to hips, aprons too narrow, no reverse pleat, multitude of weaving flaws, rips (fixed and not), pulls, buckles falling apart, cheap stiff straps, you name it, and all to be found in any given kilt. It was a real shame. I would NEVER advocate going with Pakistani construction UNLESS, it is with an established and reputable company who will stand behind their product (like Stillwater, for example). Dealing with someplace like SWK will generally offer a means of recourse if there is a problem. Right now, having dealt more or less directly with the factory, there is very little which is likely to be done to rectify the situation. So I respectfully disagree.
