These guys are incredible. I am sure many people that have studied kiltmaking and put hours of perfectionism and attention to detail into their kilts loved this comment from someone that imports their kilts
That line ("kiltmakers have had it too good for too long") was meant as a DELIBERATE jab at high end kiltmakers in Scotland who are complaining about the GB. Their way of fighting back is by trying to get the sympathy of the public by saying that their competitors are overpriced and THEY are the ones who are "right".
If the Scottish Government doesn't pass any laws about "truth in advertising", I think that Geoffery Tailor and other traditional kiltmakers should start opening their OWN tartan tat stores on the Royal Mile and selling Pakistani Kilts (and their own of course). If you can't beat 'em and no one's going to stop them and your business can't survive otherwise... join 'em. After they open enough "tat stores" of their own, it'll hurt the GB. Barring this type of move, the GB will have cart blanche to do what they like for as long as they like and they'll gain momentum (and $$$) until they're unstopable.
