Vancouver Kilt Shop?

**Peel** · 10th August 08, 10:49 AM

Hi All,

I'm headed to Vancouver BC next weekend, and am trying to find any kilt shops of good quality there. I'm looking for a Prince Charlie jacket and Vest, and a dress Sporran. I've looked at several online shops, but really feel the need to try on the jacket and vest, and feel the quality before buying. I know there used to be an Edinburgh Tartan Shop in Vancouver, but believe it closed several years ago. Is anyone from Vancouver, or know some quality shops there?

Thanks.

-Pete

There is also the House of MacLaren in Gastown in downtown Vancouver.

Tartantown is your best bet for in stock merchandise.

There is also McIntosh Highland Supplies (no relation!) in Delta. It might be wise to phone first.

Great!

Thanks for all of your suggestions. I had googled "kilt shop vancouver" but on ly got the one in Gas Town. I knew there were others in the outlying areas, but was at a loss to find them.

Peel, I don't know if you got my PM so I'll post here as well. I know where all those shops are and two of them are fairly close to where I live. If you would like a "guide" when you arrive, send me a PM and I'll give you my particulars. There's also a great pub here, my local.

Safe trip up.

Thanks Mike. I'm still trying to work out the particulars of when I head north, but will keep your offer in mind, and let you know when I have a better sense of when I'm driving up.

btw - thanks for the head's up on the PM - I didn't see the notice that I had any, and there were a few waiting for me.
