    I haven't logged on to XMarks in a while, and just came across this thread. I must add my own post in support of Tim and the House of Labhran. I have dealt with them off and on for some years, and have always gotten the highest quality and the highest service.

    I just received 5 sets of Piper's cross belt sets of the Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders for my reenacting group from House of Labhran, and I could not be happier with the quality and service. The pieces are museum quality, and just not available for love nor money from anyone outside of Scotland. I have several custom jobs outstanding with Tim just now, and the service just cannot be beaten. Do not hesitate to deal with this firm, they are the very top.

    What a pleasant change from some of the vendor inquiries I've read here! I'll spend a few minutes browsing to see if anything catches the eye.

    Sounds splendid, Tim! Next time I'm over, I'll take you up on that dram, my friend.

    Cheers,

    First thing I must say is a big thanks to all our friends-clients above who we see have come out to play on our behalf. Thanks chaps.

    Anyone who is in the know and has been with us since way back in 1998 knows what The House of Labhran is about. I won't say anymore. If anyone new wants to email us and ask more questions please feel free. Yes use the website email. I know it shows as a gmail address, but guess what I will answer that email where ever we are which at this time of year is for some days of the week grouse beating in the Cairngorms, if you want the .com email address just let me know, but it gets forwarded through to gmail.

    So anyone who has any questions we would love to hear from you. Off to talk to a new weaver this week and source some more keepers tweeds to replace the Haggart's since they sold the company and stopped weaving their own cloth. Plus a day or so on the grouse.....

    Thanks again everyone in the know.

    All out of "ayes," yet again, so here's a plus one. Well said, Tim.

    Cheers,
