    Okay...I've seen these folks at local events...they're a small shop in a very nice "antiques-and-bed-and-breakfasts" sort of small town in Northern Illinois...I used to drive through there on the way up to Wisconsin all the time. Cut them some slack...they're probably on the internet just to keep up..."...do you have a website?"...if they want to have any sales from people who see them at an event and can't make up their minds on the spot, they need a website for those indecisive buyers to come back to. Everybody isn't 21st Century Kilts...

    I have been meaning to drive up and stop and see their shop in person. Fall is a good time. Maybe I'll suggest that they ought to spiff up the photos...they're obviously just shots of the outfits hanging on the walls of the shop.

    Ease up...they're just a small shop in small town...everybody isn't out to conquer the world, you know.

    Best

    well, as I said, I did let them know in the interests of making their website more professional, we are all at different stages of learning.
    How they accept and apply the advice is more important.

    Three years ago I didn't know one end of a kilt from the other either...but I wasn't selling them.

    I understand that they're a small shop. Actually, most kiltmakers and retailers are. I would actually argue that they are probably a bigger shop than USA Kilts (they probably have more inventory and walk in traffic than us).

    The problem I have is with making a buck off of something without understanding what you're selling or how it's worn...
