Nanook , Im glad you concede my point that the Singhs are British Asians, you seem convinced they are British Citizens, I wonder hat the basis of this assumption? even if they are they are not Scots they are British Asians, which as I said before isnt a factor in my arguement,
can you elabourate as to which "top Scottish woolen mills" they use,
I appreciate your comments however, Ive been in the shops loads of times, most if not all the staff are eastern european/asian ( so not jobs for Scots) again the Singhes are entitled to employ who they like, but Im setting the record streight, as for the Singhs being a "success story for Scottish kilt making" if you class flooding the market with shoddy rubbish with a huge markup then thats a great success for them, and a knockout blow for real kiltmakers.
finally you point about child labour, you suggested that Stillwater and Sportkilts sell products that may have had child labour involved , is there any evidence for this or again is it pure speculation?

I undestand why I want my husband ( or anyone else) to have a traditional kilt. Best quality, etc, etc. But, my question would be, would I let him go out to the games and use his kilt we paid 500. US dollars for to Play in. I dont think so.
I would buy him one of these cheap ones to play in (wear everyday) or just to hang out in. Save the best for dress!. Same thing for his jeans and his other clothes.
Do you guys really wear you best kilts out just to knock about in?
This has been one of my questions about buying his first kilt. Now, after my research I find myself wanting to buy him two. One to play in and one for dress. But I promise the play one I will not put that kind of money into.

I find it interesting how they say that no one should pay more than 200 gbp for a kilt, when they have an awful lot of kilts, particularly the standard wool 8 yarders, that START at just under 200gbp and go up significanlty from there, particularly if you want anything but a budget end tartan from one of the marginal tartan weavers.
Their stock budget low end kilts are all in limited fixed sizes and one length (24inches) ----at least when you go to buy a pair of jeans you get a lot more options about what length you can buy, as well as a choice of cut.
Except for their 5 yarders, all their custom sized wool kilts start at 200 pounds and go up quickly from there for virtually any tartan you choose.
