    I wonder if they make the kilts they stock themselves, or if they order their stocked kilts from other makers. I noticed some of the pictures of the 'ladies' wear' were taken from robertburnsstore.com. I wonder if that's where they got their stocked ladies' wear or if they just took the pictures and made their own kilts.

    I didn't realize they made 16oz synthetic tartans. Those prices seem almost too good.

    Best regards,

    On another board one of the owners, Mark Wright, says that they get their kilts from the same place that Stillwater does. "We actually supply some other stores with Kilts, Sporrans, and bagpipes....We sell kilts depending on weight (13/16 oz) from $43.21. We also will get tartans custom made and we carry tartans that others don't have."

    Exactly... made in Pakistan.

    Although it looks like their pictures of WOMEN'S stuff is taken directly from Lochcarron's catalog (but the prices are WELL below WHOLESALE prices for Lochcarron).

    You can't get any extras though, like buckles and sewn-down pleats and fringe can you?

    If it's made in Pakistan, I think that is reason enough not to buy from them. But can this be proven?

    Also... the ladies pics are of Lochcarron's Women's products... here's ANOTHER company that IS a registered Lochcarron dealer:

    http://www.scottishlion.com/kiltedskirts.html

    Notice the models are all the same? They're Lochcarron's pics on "the frugal corner" website, but they are NOT selling Lochcarron's products (unless they make it a habbit to sell the items for less than they buy them for wholesale).

    Maybe you should ask to buy the EXACT LOCHCARRON DRESS pictured on the frugal corner's site and demand to pay their advertised price. It's below my wholesale price. Notice what these dresses SHOULD cost on the Scottish Lion's site.

    Why is that a reason not to buy from them?
