Yes, I've bought some stuff from them. Nothing big...pair of hose and a pin that I use as a kilt pin. Shipping was prompt..no problems at all.

They had a Holyrood fly plaid for next-to-nothing for a really long time and I admit that I was tempted.....but what will I ever do with a fly plaid?

One of this forum's members that doesn't post here too often now (Glassman) has purchased several kilts from them. I know he was generally quite satisfied with their service and product as we PMed back and forth about the kilts. If I remember right - the kilts are advertised as "mixed fiber" and Teflon coated. I believe the "mixed fibers" are wool and acrylic but I don't remember the % of each.

I've bought a few things off them recently. Shipping is quick and service is good. Products are good for lower end stuff. I bought a kilt pin, jacobite shirt and a sgian dubh. All exactly as advertised.

I've bought accessories from them, too. No complaints.

Bought kilt pins and flashes from them - very fast suppliers and no problems at all.

I have also bought several smaller items from them, on several occasions. I had a problem with the color of a leather item from them once and got a full refund w/no problems. I wouldn't hesitate to deal w/them again.

I have now returned two sporrans, so, I doubt that I will be able to do business with them again.

I have to think that the cantles on the sporrans I purchased were made in Pakistan, but, regardless, the quality just wasn't there.

I guess that is what makes the difference in a 80 dollar sporran v. a $184 sporran.....

Too bad, they have a wide selection of bovine/calf sporrans......

I have just ordered a handmade Robertson kilt from them - this will no doubt be the acid test

For a handmade kilt it's a very reasonable price so look forward to trying it and will report my views.

Hi guys, I'm back after an extended absence due to health issues.

I've bought 2 kilts, 2 fly plaids, 1 leather sporran strap and a kilt pin from them. They've always shipped quickly and been right on top of things. The "mixed fibers" are actually wool & polyviscouse blends and are a nice weight for summer or even spring & fall wear but I prefer my true tanks for winter wear. For the price I was extremely pleased with what I got from them.
