I am Raymond Hamilton, www.mytartan.com We have a factory in Galashiels in the Scottish Borders. We are a wholesaler and retailer we are part of HAMILTON PRODUCTS,weare not connected with anyone else. We do sell 8 yard poly/vicose kilts. The reason is simple, I think everyone should have the chance to wear a kilt whether it be £500 or £40. We have complete scottish made outfits for £300 this includes the jacket as well, our customers can't afford to pay £800 for their national dress. My opinion is that Lochcarron and other manufacturers of Tartan material have had it to good to long. They are ripping off their own countryman. The shops in Edinburgh and other High Street locations get the same material and the same kilt maker. I sell this 8 yard wool kilt for £200, they sell fir £350. We need a cheap kilt for the poor people who only want to wear the kilt with pride. Raymond Hamilton
