Smurfs,

Good on ya man for following up and following through with an honest and open explanation. I applaud you for your willingness to make what I am sure was not an easy post to write.

I again offer all the help and advice you are willing to accept.

Information is the key. The better you are informed the better both a seller and a buyer you are.

I look forward to supporting you all I can. You have proven to me that you are a man of honor and I salute you.

As I said before, an honest and humble answer. I too will be looking to see what you have for sale after the smoke clears. I like your fairness.
--Again, thank You.

I agree, very commendable and honourable. Unfortunately, at times, we are all a victim of the old adage, "if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is". I've been fooled by some (former) wholesalers in the past, so it's fairly common, I'm afraid.

Another way to tell whether something is acrylic (assuming you don't want to start fires! ) is to judge by the weight. A number of these Pakistani mills advertise their fabric as 13 oz. or 16 oz. That just isn't true. They usually weigh about 6 oz. in reality. For acrylic to be 16 oz. per linear yard it would have to be very thick indeed. Picture a woollen picnic rug/car blanket and then picture an acrylic version that you could buy at Mall-Wart and you'll see what I mean. Despite comparable yarn thickness, there is an enormous difference in sheer weight.

Anyway, hope you continue posting and good luck.

The kilt was stitched along about 2" above the bottom. No hem, remember. Just tacked at each end and free-flowing along from edge to edge of the pleats. I was pleased with that. Still needed pressing. Does not press too well but I will try it again soon.

That would be it, although usually there are three or more rows of basting stitches.

I'd like to thank all those who have sent me personal messages in support of my legal undertakings recently. I must accept some responsibility for not acting sooner after reading the doubts of some of you which actually was warrented at the time and even more so now.

I'm still working on my descriptions and awaiting results on tests that I have asked a local kilt maker here in eastern Ontario she lives between Carleton Place and Perth, I will post results here on X Marks and in my descriptions on eBay and on my website.

On another note I have not read any of the subsquent posts since my last visit when I posted my note about whats been going on, I hope you all have a little patience as this battle will take some time, I have however set up a couple of appointments with an officer at Foreign Affairs and International Trade Canada (DFAIT) and Export development Canada on the topic of how I may proceed with my claim for false advertising and fraud against the company that I was doing business with, thats all I can say at the moment but I will keep you up to date with any other news.

Thank you all again for your support and for those who said "I told you so" ....you did.

Best regards,

Sean

You have a large battle ahead of you. I wish you luck, genuine honesty will win in the end.

Smurphs1 has taken down the men's kilt section of his website. I assume he is restructuring. I think he is an honest businessman.

I hope Sean keeps us informed as to how the legal process is going. Undoubtedly it will take some time, but I'm glad he's chosen to take the right path on this one.
