Heritage of Scotland?

Okay, thanks for the help you guys. I still can't figure why I want that kilt. Something just keeps drawing me back to it.

It is facsinating, I think were I Scottish, I'd have one! Having said that, look where you'd displaying a national flag, some Scots would be offended and would have the right to say so.

Good point. It usually isn't in good taste to have a flag in one's groin. Hehe.

In my Kilt Kollection I have the Saltire kilt, which is often admired and which is frequently seen being worn in Scotland especially by football supporters and on stage by great groups such as 'Scocha'. Almost every Highland Outfitter has them on display too.

Whilst I would NEVER buy anything from the Gold Brothers, I see they state on their website: "Your Saltire Tartan Kilt will be made the traditional way, from a full eight yards of the finest pure new wool Saltire Tartan, woven and Made in Scotland to the exclusive patented specification."

Having spoken to a number of retailers about this tartan, I do know that the Saltire tartan is woven in Scotland and only by the mill that created the unique effect across the pleats. In other words, wherever you buy this kilt, the tartan will have been woven in Scotland at one specific mill. In spite of all my feelings about 'Heritage of Scotland' and its owners, I cannot imagine that they'd send this tartan out to Pakistan to be made into kilts! Their price is also pretty much in line with that charged everywhere else.




In this instance I'd be prepared to believe that they are selling the genuine article, and not a cheap import - but I still would go elsewhere if I wanted another one!

I thought that this was the kilt in question and I searched their site to find a kilt with the saltire across the front. I think this is the kilt elitekiltedcommando was referring to.

I got my first kilt form this store. It's a PV casual 5 yd. in the Campbell of Argyll tartan. I'm very happy with it, and very happy with the service I received. It proved a very affordable way to get into this wonderful life of being kilted. I do understand that the majority of what they sell is imported and of lesser quality than other stores, but for a first kilt, they done me good. And to tell the truth, I would recommend their PV kilts to anyone who wants either an affordable first kilt or just a casual kilt in which one could do things that one would not do in an expensive wool kilt(grilling, maybe) Having said all that, the kilt in question with the Saltire on the front apron, if that is indeed the one in question, is not an item that would appeal to me. But if it suits you, by all means, go for it! And don't forget to post pics of yourself wearing it proudly when it arrives.

I've used them twice. On each occasion, the goods which arrived were of a lower quality than that shown on the web site, or mis-described.

I wouldn't use them again.

Best regards
