We also will get tartans custom made and we carry tartans that others don't have."

Exactly... made in Pakistan.
Although it looks like their pictures of WOMEN'S stuff is taken directly from Lochcarron's catalog (but the prices are WELL below WHOLESALE prices for Lochcarron).

For reasons of truth (i.e. "truth in advertising"), you should be able to make up your own minds as consumers. Here is the full response from Mark Wright regarding the origination of his kilts and his "support of the scottish community":
"Greetings. I am one of the owners of The Frugal Corner. We do not get our kilts from Stillwater Kilt. I am sure tehy get theirs from the same place we do. We actually supply some other stores with Kilts, Sporrans, and bagpipes. WE SUPPORT LOCAL SCOTTISH EVENTS WITH DONATIONS. We sell kilts depending on weight (13/16 oz) from $43.21. We also will get tartans custom made and we carry tartans that others don't have. Our kilts have three buckles and straps (even the lighter weight ones). I have not looked at the stillwater kilts (I believe they are most likley just adding a sewn in label to the kilts they purchase) but I think our would be as good if not better. Check out our feed back on ebay and as of today we have not had one negative comment. BUT Even if our products cost $2 more..we hope that our service and support of the scottish community makes it worth while for you to suport us.
