    New? kilt seller on eBay: AllScottish.CA

    AllScottish.ca

    I don't know whether it's a new company, but since there's no feedback yet I think it's new to eBay. The 100% wool for the in-stock kilts is probably lightweight considering that the kilt costs CA$110 [about US$88], but that's OK for the south Texas heat and humidity. There's not a lot of variety either, but maybe that will come if they're successful.

    They're selling an 8-yd, all wool Saltire kilt on eBay for US$200.

    Has anyone here dealt with them?

    The obscure we see eventually. The completely obvious, it seems, takes longer.

    Hmmm... Interesting that they seem to be aiming at a Canadian market, and the camouflage they use for one of their kilts is specifically a British pattern. No CADPAT (Canadian Army Disruptive PATtern) to be seen anywhere. I'm pretty sure I recognize the model from some other websites too, I just can't place which one off the top of my head.

    Admittedly, real CADPAT is illegal in civilian hands (something to do with unique IR qualities), but there are already manufacturers making legal CADPAT copies. I'd still like to see a kilt made of the knock-off material.

    $200 for a Saltire kilt?!?! Like the the Clan Cian remnant sale thread, I wish I had the money! I'll just have to continue to console myself with the knowledge that I have beautiful Albannach tartan kilt coming in the future from USAK, which is of course where all my spare cash has gone...

    I donna know where they be sourcing their materials from, but the Sgian Dubhs look nice for the price. The dress Drum uniform looks really familiar, maybe a kin to Geoffry made for Scottish? If the kilts are not stitched to the completely to fell, I think we may have an answer.

    Don't want to judge a book by its cover, but visiting their website, it struck me as being VERY amateurish when compared to other online retailers. It seemed like the online version of setting up a card table in a back alley versus having a regular, retail storefront business. I mean, when I clicked on one of their inner links, I was taken to a page that still had loret ipsum text with stock photos... Then, when I went to eBay, I saw that they were selling a single product. I dunno, I'm willing to give this company a shot, but so far they haven't done aanything to show me that they are even legit, let alone good.

    Cool Yes I'm New to ebay and yes my website is amuturish at best

    Yes I'm New to eBay and yes my website is amateurish at best,

    I'm just a little perturbed that no one would take the time to email me and find out who I am and what I'm all about.

    I get all my Kilts from Sloan Street in Edinburgh, Scotland yes I have used pictures from other websites to display what I have for sale but not before asking permission.

    I lived in Paisley Scotland for the best part of my life, this website that everyone is talking about is up and working with no problems.

    I do have a web designer, who is working on a better website as we speak,
    Until its up and running what you see is what you get.

    If anyone has any questions I would prefer you ask me rather than surmise about what I might or miht not be doing or selling online I've sold a lot of things through my website before trying my hand at eBay.

    Feed back on my Items will follow shortly Yes I'm New. Let me ask a question to all those who talk about my site ......lmao..
    how many of you are wearing a UtiliKilt, or a 2-5yrd Casual kilt?... I wear a real Kilt and to wear the Black Watch after serving with them I'm very proud to do so.
    Again if anyone has any comments I would be very greatful to hear about them.

    Where abouts in Canada are you located, I was on the site but did not see that. I was also wondering about the 24" drop, as a drop like that is too much for me, can they be shortened before delivery?
