Hi,

Happened to see this on e-Bay, item ":

170040982720

Can't imagine too many being sold though seller does say in part:

"This is an excellent, value for money kilt"

Ain't no kilt worth 7G's. It is a great value for the seller! Only an idoit would give that much for something worth, at the most 1/10 of that

So I says...

"Uh.... over 3000 pounds for one kilt? Don't you think that is a bit excessive???"

Lets wait for the response.......

Think :rolleyes: he put his decimal point on the wrong salival. :confused:

Must be a mistake. If ebay charges him fees, based on his listing price, he's going to be very unhappy.

Edit: I took a look at his web store. the rest of his kilts are listed at 37.99 GBP or 71.27 USD. Clearly a brain fart when placing the decimal point.

I can tell by the buckles and pic that it's a Paki Kilt (also... look at the standard 24" length and the fact he called it a "Casual Kilt" and the fact that it's shipping within 24 hours and has no hip measurements specified). I agree that it's probably a mistake in the decimal point... 38 POUNDS ($70 USD) sounds MUCH more reasonable.

This isn't one of those Neiman Marcus Christmas things?

Or something like the Victoria's Secret diamond encrusted brassiere?

Perhaps it comes with a lairdship and manor house in the Old Country?

For that price, instead of tissue paper, it should come wrapped in sheets of uncut $100 bills.

WHOOPS!

I'm sure once the emails come flooding in, he'll get it corrected.

I have a sample of that exact same kilt. Judging by the result of the fabric burn test I did, it is NOT PV. It is acrylic of average quality.

There is a definite difference if you take a thread and burn it, and stretch the melted end while it is still hot.

Acrylic turns an orange-yellow color, PV turns black:

The yarn on the left is Marton PV, Asian acrylic on the right.

I suspect many of the so-called "16-oz PV" kilts are neither 16-oz or PV.
