    Judging by the pictures, the similar write up and the use of the term "Heritage of..." these look like Kilts from a company called "Heritage of Scotland" who are based in Edinburgh and part of the Gold Bros empire. http://www.heritageofscotland.com/

    These kilts stir up a few emotions among some X Marks members as the UK variant states on the labelling, "Designed in Scotland" but doesn't seem to mention they are actually made in Central Asia. The implication that they are a Scottish product could be regarded as misleading. The Gold Bros shops on the Royal Mile in Edinburgh have also caused some controversy with their aggressive sales practice. http://edinburghnews.scotsman.com/ro...-in.4442913.jp

    The quality of these kilts is good (for a budget kilt). They are +/- 8 yards, fairly substantial and well constructed and hold pleats well. It has however previously been stated that the 16oz Poly-Viscose tag is apparently a myth as there is no such material produced. They also have a hem... which to some traditionalists means it's a skirt not a kilt.

    They retail in UK for £38 to £50 from the Heritage website but the company also distribute to resellers worldwide so you can pay alot more or a bit less depending on where you get it. The Kilted Nation Price seems fair to me having looked at a few sites that resell these kilts.

    As I said. The kilts are OK, I have a couple and have no complaints but having read many reviews in threads on here, you might consider a 'Stillwater Standard'. Should be noted however that these are also made in Central Asia. http://stores.channeladvisor.com/Sti...ndard%20Kilts/
