The mill behind these scarves appears to be Johnstons of Elgin in Moray, Scotland. According to Wikipedia the cashmere that they process is from -- wait for it! -- China and Mongolia. It's not just SWISS MADE watches that are from China.

CloacaScotland produces very little cashmere (its not cold enough). Most of it comes from Mongolia, with some more recent production in Australia and New Zealand. The best stuff is from Mongolia (not that these scarves are made from the best stuff). The association of Scotland with cashmere is not for production, but for weaving the yarn.
It is not at all similar to the Swiss watch industry.

CloacaI really don't care about this stuff normally. But when I am buying something 'Scottish' it's because my ancestors and my last name are Scottish. I want actual real deal Scottish. Not some shell company con game where it is made in a pacific rim country, but labeled with a brand name that implies an origin elsewhere (cough British Belt Company cough).

Pretty obnoxious that Massdrop does a quick raise in prices on the last day. The scarf price went up from $40 to $50. I can imagine that it happens for many products on this website.

BlueCrownedYeah. You can see that the Dappered website had original recorded the $40 price but then, on the last day, it jumped to $50.

I think it sort of goes against the how they market this site. They state that the more people that join the drop the more the price drops... well... it appears that this is a bit artificial in some cases.

"Each has short fringe at the end that shows the knitting quality and the dyeing process the scarf goes through. "
The fringe shows no such thing. The scarf is woven, not knitted, and all the fringe shows is the warp ends. That's it. Some of the fringes are long and twisted, and some are simply the cut ends. There is nothing remarkable about any of it, and the word "knitting" should not be used in association with these scarves. The copy makes it clear that whoever's selling them doesn't know the product.

PennThat’s pretty common here. It’s like it’s a robot doing the posting. They have some pants for sale that are a whole size different from the manufacturer’s own website. With their shipping delays I’d get that scarf in time for an 80° Texas spring with no way to cancel the order.

Anyone have experience with Royal Speyside scarves? Considering picking one of these up, but I'd like to hear some thoughts first.

ArcendusI've got one of their wool scarves and I would say worth the $$$.

GMarshyou do not understand how to wear a scarf. A 5-6 foot long scarf is minimum if you are doubling it over then then cinching it around your neck.
