    Original new regimental kilts for sale

    Surfing the net today I've found this site that has on sale some original regimental kilts from military surplus.
    They don't have my actual size (as usual...) and I'm still loosing weight, so it is not the right moment for me to buy, but I thought that it could be interesting for some "thinner member" of the forum.

    this is the link
    http://www.qcmilitaria.com/kilts.htm

    Ciao!

    My only problem with ordering from "The Continent" is that the shipping charges are a killer

    If this is the men's department, where are the kilts?

    Great, now I've got to try to find 150 quid from down the couch so I can buy a Liverpool Scottish kilt (had family who served in that Regiment back as far as the Boer War). Something tells me this ain't gonna be easy...

    Thanks for the link though!

    Yes, but you should not to pay the VAT (17% or 20%), so the price should be less than what appear... If I'm right.
    I've seen it in some eusopean websites of e-commerce. However it is better to ask them for this.
    I usually order form USA (amerikilt or others) and I don't pay so much for delivery. Sometimes aour customs police forget to let me pay the vat and the taxes, so it is even better!!!

    However we have to consider the amount of the shipping in front of the cost of the goods.
    I usually do these considerations before buying.

    I'm obliged to buy there too, (even if they are not original military surplus) because of my size.... still too fat!!!

    I did find this that I'll probably buy as a kilt pin. That might be the cheaper option for now!

    They've got a London Scottish/Hodden Grey kilt.

    Too bad that sucker's WAY too small for the likes of me.

    That London Scottish is nice. Got a connection to it or do you just like it?
