Yeah, I get that occasionally with them. I guess they need to up their limit.

wow....could the rip off be any more blatant? I mean at least there are more snaps so the UK "U" shape isn't as obvious. I have ordered a few swords from them and they are good quality...but that is just underhanded. you could have at least TRIED to hide the rip off.

Hey Guys! That's it! I have just been looking at the Museum Replicas range of kilts (yes, they do look like a poor man's Utilikilt) and I'd swear the 'Warlord' model in leather is what Nathan Fillon is wearing in the photo on page 3 of the neaby thread headed "Taking online abuse in stride" which I was reading a few minutes ago - the kilt Adam thought to be a TFCK kilt! It hit me straightaway.

Take a look at the arrangement of press-studs/snaps on the front apron and compare them with those on the kilt Fillon is wearing. They are identical.





Right! That's that one solved. What's next?

Ham, is that a picture of one of yours? if so, how about a review.

I am afraid it's not, Iolaus. There are 18 kiltmakers represented in my Kilt Kollection but Museum Replicas is not one of them - they are not even on my 'wants' list!

No, I 'borrowed' that photo from their website a short while ago.

I knew it was a long shot, but I'd not seen that picture on their site. Oh well.

And yes, from the other pictures that I have seen, I'm not impressed either, but if someone had an in-person impression, I'd be willing to listen.

While I admit that they look similar, I think these "Practikilts" have only been for sale for a couple of weeks, where as that pic is from last december.

even the name is a ripoff

indeed. of course celebrity has it's advantages. it could well be the same model and he got an advanced version. I don't see the pockets on the side so his could be a prototype...either way he needs to find a better version...

Actually, Fillon's kilt DOES have pockets. If you zoom in on the image, one can be clearly seen on his left side - the top of the pocket is hidden by that ghastly jacket though!

(PS: I thought you were in Cumbria!!!!)
