    Advice on where to purchase second kilt...

    I'm looking to purchase a second kilt and am wondering if anyone has purchased a casual wool kilt from the Scottish Country Shop in Portland, OR. I'm kind of leaning towards a USA Kilt, but would appreciate any advice.

    I can't speak for the Scottish Country Shop, but my USA Kilts is very well made, polyviscose, and just all the way around fine. I am sure you'll get other reports here soon.

    I purchased a premier from USA and am extremely pleased with it. So much so I recently ordered a semi trad from them. Rocky has been very helpful and patient with each interaction.

    You can't go wrong dealing direct with a kiltmaker. Troubles seem to happen when you order through a middleman. Not all middlemen of course, but certainly a time to be careful and do some research. Unless its off the peg from the middleman and you can try it on and examine the kilt before you buy.

    As far as USA Kilts are concerned I'm a tad prejudice. Waited a year to buy my first one because I didn't think anything could be as good as the hype I saw on the board. Finally ordered one and now, including that first order I've bought 23 USA Kilts. The last purchase is currently in the mail en route to me.

    Course, the easy answer is to just get one of each. You know you're gonna anyway.

    I have yet to order a kilt from USA Kilts, but I have ordered a couple other things from them. The customer service, and the product I've received have all been great.
