    which is clearly poached from KA-

    Given that Robertson is selling these WITH the waistplate and sporran at less than half of KA's price and says that their stuff is Made in Pakistan,

    Here's another thieving site with a format which is remarkably similar to Robertsons called "Great Highland Wear" which we've dealt with before-

    If you can't trust a site to show you what the stuff THEY ARE ACTUALLY SELLING looks like-
    If their product has to be represented by STOLEN PHOTOGRAPHS of other companies' products-
    Should you really trust them with YOUR MONEY?
