    kakkui,

    There is a big difference between "rude" and "vague".

    It might just be possible that there are companies out there that might just try to contact a kilt importer's manufacturers to set up/ add to their own kilt business.

    An importer might get a bit wary after a while and some nasty experiences.

    I would be very interested to see the exact question asked and the exact answer given.

    I doubt very much if Jerry gives any better service to the members of X Marks the Scot. He isn't on the forum all that much and when he does he seldom participates in discussions about Stillwater Kilts.

    Jerry and Stillwater Kilts have certainly (and rightfully) earned a good repuatation here on XMTS. He has proven himself time and again to be a quick responding, honest, and forthright fellow. It is possible you were the exception, or caught him on a bad day, but I stand by my recomendation of Stillwater Kilts.

    Cheers

    Jamie
