Well I got a chance to see first hand one of the kilts as my friend rushed over when fed ex delivered it. Though you can purchase a non wool kilt from the ebay store tho on e my buddy purchased was actually a 8 yard wool and compared to other low priced wool from packastan it was much better. Would of been well worth the 79 bucks and free shipping that. Was paid for it. As far as duty goes I asked my buddy about it and he just looked at me and said what's duty. Though I have never Had the privalage of wearing a quality kilt from some of the big name kilt makers ( still saving my penny's ) it was pretty nice. I checked the web sight and called and he sold out of most of the wool the first day he posted them. Said it will be a few weeks befor he posts more. He swears they are not made in packsastan.
