8yd 16oz Kilt review: "Bobilicious" on Ebay

[Tobus]

Congrats on the purchases. I hope they serve you well.

But...

(And I hope I'm not raining on your parade here...)

You might want to check a couple of things. I purchased an 8-yard 16-ounce kilt a couple of years ago, too, for a price not too different than yours. I didn't buy from Bobilicious, but from another person who also used an "anonymous kiltmaker in Scotland". And honestly, when I look at the pictures of your kilt above, the details of the construction look virtually identical to the one I bought. Especially the black lining. I wonder if yours was made by the same person.

The reason this is important is because I learned a hard, hard lesson about kilt construction. You may want to look at the thread I just linked, read it all the way through, and then check your new kilt to see if it displays similar behaviour to mine.

I'm really hoping it doesn't, and that yours is a well-built quality kilt. But check it, just to be sure. It could save you headaches down the road.

Well said Sir! I actually followed that thread very closely prior to ordering and even forwarded it to Mr. Chalmers who took note and made sure it had the reenforcing strip included in the construction (it is able to be felt very slightly through the liner. Good call! Though I am sad for your misfortune, I learned a very valuable lesson from you Sir!

I purchased a five yard Irish American kilt from Bob recently,I was impressed with the quality of it considering it only cost me about seventy five quid.Bob also refunded me the postage because it did not get sent out immediately even though it was the Christmas/New Year period when a delay is understandable.I will definately buy from him again.

Excellent! If just one person avoids the same problem I had, I consider it a success. Enjoy your new kilts!
