[Dan R Porter]

I think I am going to stick with who I work with for now. Until it is 100% clear.

Another week of coronation street.... thank you guys......

[slohairt]

Hardly Coronation Street. I think it's more like 60 Minutes or the Fifth Estate. To echo what Wizard wrote earlier, all anyone is asking for is truth in advertising. If the kilts are made from Acrylic than simply state that that is what they are made from.

Well, I don't like to dis anybody. I always assume the best of people and I want everyone to thrive and do well. Steve's description of Acrylic seems right. I was careful walking around the fire on the patio when wearing it. The description on ebay said 100% wool. I am certain that is not the case. Said "New: with tags." No tags whatsoever either on the garment or on the bag. The weight advertised was about 9% less than the postal weight with box.

did it have basting stitches? not that that means anything, just curious.

[tulloch]

Describe basting stitches please.

[slohairt]

Describe basting stitches please.

Tulloch,

Basting stitches are temporary stitches (usually white) which hold the pleats together during shipping or pressing. It simply allows the pleats to retain their form and are meant to be taken out by the customer. (Very carefully!)

I know it is now time for you all to say "I told you so" but here's whats happening.

First of all let me first apologize for my Coronation st. remark after I had posted my comment I received a call from my lawyer who has put me in touch with the following Law companies Fraser Milner Casgrain LLP Commercial and International Law. Ottawa On, who work in partnership with Axion Commercial Law #4 School Wynd, Quarrier's Village, Bridge Of Weir, Scotland, they have taken up my case for false advertising and shipping materials internationally without proper or no description tags.

After doing "The Burn Test" as suggested on XMarks the Scot I found that about 70% of what I believed to be wool was indeed not so the company in question did supplement the shipments with a few Woolen kilts with tags I guess to throw off any suspicion on my part.

Again let me explain why I started this online business, It was to ensure that everyone could afford a kilt and wear it proudly, at one point I was sort of laughed out of a store when I tried to buy a kilt for about $200 that’s when I decided to do what I'm doing, it's not a business where I can make a lot of money, and that’s not what it's about, My wife and I have very good paying jobs, We and our children live a comfortable life, this www.allscottish.ca venture is a hobby.

I will be changing the descriptions and prices of my kilts to equal the quality, weight, and condition of the material used, I also seek advice from anyone who would like to help.

I would love to give you all the answers you seek like where and who did I buy from well I can say the kilts are from Scotland, but the head office of the Mill / weaving facility is in Sialkot as I found out today, At this time I am unable to divulge the company's name reason being I don't need at this time a law suit for Libel or slander, Upon conclusion of my legal enquiries I will release the company's name to all concerned.

I would like to thank you all for bringing me into your lives and this website I will continue to log in and reply to all your private messages as I have been doing so in the past.

Sincerely and best regards,
Sean

Here in Massachusetts we have the law offices of Dewey, Cheetem & Howe. They wonder what can possibly interest me in dancing around a fire in a skirt - Acrylic or Wool. They are working on a petition for commitment on behalf of my sister and they are challenging my competency. I think I shall make for the mountains in my Hunting Ross until the hounds pass.

Sounds like an honest fellow might have got conned by an unscrupulous middle-man. Bravo Zulu for honesty and forthrightness!

This sounds like he'll be a good vendor to keep an eye out for great deals, once the legal "issues" are out of the way.
