I got this argyll jacket and vest on the top of my list. Anyone ever buy one of these or buy from this vendor?

90 views!

Not a popular vendor I guess.

I'm pretty sure that Wompet has this jacket from the same vendor, we saw them at the Ithica Highland Games this summer. I think it has more to do with where they are from not that they are not very popular.

You mean where the jackets are made? They advertise they're made in Scotland.

That seems to be a good price, and it does say the jackets are made in Scotland. The company or store is in New York...

We do need a review of the jacket and the store.

Why bother looking at an obscure vendor whom nobody knows? Why not look at USAKilts Argyll jackets and vests in a variety of colors (and similar price), or look at Steve Ashton's jackets at FreedomKilts? You're making this harder than it needs to be. Both of those vendors have top-notch quality products and service, and are regular posters here. Why go elsewhere?

I mean the store, they are located in Buffalo New York, and may not have a huge following on this board.

I hope they show up @ Stone Mountain next month. I'll write and ask them.

I feel the same way. I have looked at several jackets at the games, none will fit me, but I expect that. Then I compare them with mine, which I got from J. Higgins, http://www.jhiggins.net/ and know if I go for a Crail or PC, or Argyle, that is where I'll go.

I may be just missing them but I didn't see any Crail jackets at these sites.
