Should kilts come with basting stiches?

[skauwt]

i bought my kilt from Hector Brussels in Glasgow and it had basting stitches, the thing that bothered me the most was the handing over the kilt in a carrier bag they hadn't even took the time to place it properly in the bag....i agree that id expect stitching on collection or by online ordering

My Kilt from Hector Russell also came with basting stiches, and was packed well (it arrived to me in Spain, 2 days before a wedding). It was also a very good price (200GBP for heavy weight, 8 yard kilt).

Not being placed in the bag properly is probably just a case of a lazy or careless store clerk. I've had that before- having a shirt or something stuffed into the bag- just seems a bit insulting, as if to say, well here's your shirt mate, too bad you didn't buy the more expensive one.
