Two Buzz Kidder Websites?

**Captain** · 25th December 06, 05:56 AM

I have found two Buzz Kidder websites, and I was wondering if one was a fake or what?? Has anyone ordered from either?

buzzkidder.com has inventory that matches what most everyone else sells (as far as the BK sporrans)

and

buzzkidderoriginals.com seems to carry a little bit more (the inverness in brown for instance) and at a slightly lower price...

So what's the scoop?

(BTW, Merry Christmas!)

I seem to remember Ron or someone mentioning this anomoly. I believe they are both legit, and one of them is a consignment type of thing or something. I can't remember for sure now, and can't find that old thread... this was brought up in a thread of another topic...

If I recall corrrectly (I'm surprised someone has not already commented) . . .
The one with the full range is Buzz Kidder's personal site. The other is a vendor of his stuff. I seem to remember some previous business relationship (like partners or something, maybe some personal relation or friendship . . . again, I forget).

Another more detailed one is in my head, but I can't seem to locate it.

There are actually three websites. The other is kidderoriginals.

Each one is a part of the family operation. And not all are updated. Kidderoriginals is supposed to be where wholesale customers go and the site does not really do anything.

I have found it much easier to call directly. Buzz is busy with his electronics company and has handed off much of the highland wear business to his brother and daughter.

I carry the full line of Kidder sporrans, sporran hangers, belts, and shirts as does Matt Newsome at the Scottish Tartans Museum and Rocky at USA Kilts.

Buzz Kidder's Celtic Shoppe is a separate business owned by Buzz's daughter, as I recall from a phone conversation with Buzz. The Kidder bros. own a HUGE electronics company.
