Certainly no one would spoil it for a child, let them enjoy that precious time.

However for the adults, we must try and get it right: which leads to something else.

Most vendors be it of highland wear or anything else have the prime imperative of making a sale and on occasion that will override the accuracy of what they are saying-OK they might not actually lie-but they will shade their answers in favour of making that sale. This is of course very different to the negotiations between the maker and purchaser of a traditional kilt.

So we have to be aware of the seller who will say this or that, maybe invent ideas in the pursuit of profit.

For sadly I fear that some of the sights one can see are the product of over enthusiastic vendors getting their clutches on someone new to the idea of highland wear.
