    PC rental

    Hello all!

    I have just received the wonderful news that my upcoming business trip has cancelled, and I now free to attend the wedding of a good friend. Thats the good news.

    The (possibly) bad news is, the dress is to be Socttish formal, and I do not own a PC or the like. I will need to rent a PC jacket, dress sporran and the rest.

    The problem is, the wedding is June 23, a mere week away!

    Any suggestions on possible rental companies that might be able to accomodate me on short notice?

    I have had luck with Scotland Yard. They can ship today if you would like. People here have had pretty good luck with them. I have rented just a jacket and it cost me $50 plus $20 shipping for both ways. It comes with the return box and shipping labels. Pretty nice set up actually.

    Have you thought about Matt Newsome at the Scottish Tartan Museum

    http://giftshop.scottishtartans.org/rent.html

    It might be a good excuse to go down there.

    Contact Brad Beaton at atlanta kilts

    he runs a kilt hire service as well as being a piper, and can probably get you fully set up, and it's close to NC so shipping would be faster.
