The OUTRAGEOUS Price of kilts!

[Archangel]

These "Cheepo Kilts" are made by folks with a lot of talent and a long history of being under British rule and having kilted troops and pipe bands stationed there for many many years and only gain their independence in 1947+-.
Don't think they woke up one morning and said "HEY LETS MAKE KILTS"
Many Pakistani's served in The British Army.

And did not the UK just award a contract to a company in Pakistan to make Kilts for the Military.

That was the original plan, it's been changed to Scottish Kiltmakers.

Your other points are good. My grandfather spent a good part of his life in India, as a Scot in the British Army, helping make it a place where people could earn their bread and butter.

From here the conversation will move to the balance between Free Trade and Protectionism. Probably not where the mods want it to go. Fair enough.

A well made kilt, of good material, is worth every penny and I haven't heard anybody say a price that is unreasonable here.
