Happy Friday!

**Stoneyburnpiper** · 21st March 14, 02:30 PM

Feeling excited I was doing a bit of online shopping. Hopefully in the near future I'll have some good'ol scottish trinkets to boost my attire. Ended up using 3 different vendors due to price & selection. When I get the goods I'll be sure to report my findings or dealings. So far I ended up ordering a new Navy glen, cap badge & Brooch, pipers cross belt. Fingers crossed lol

Ok my findings on my internet journey.

i ordered 2 separate shipments from jhiggins. 1 on Friday and the 2nd on Saturday (because I saw more stuff I wanted). Shipment 1 arrived Monday. Contains a hat badge and plaid brooch and embroidered insignia. All 3 I'm quite impressed with the product. Looks great. Shipment 2 came today and had collar dog pins and a feather hackle and diced hose tops. Once again impressed. Looks like mint in person, fast delivery, easy ordering and reasonably priced. I would order again without hesitation and recommend.

i also ordered a pipers cross belt from pipeline on Friday, I called on Saturday to confirm my transaction and received it today. One of the best prices I found and the belt looks to be really good quality. Once again very satisfied as stated for the above reasons.

also ordered a new navy glen from glengarryhats. Easy transaction, prompt confirmation via PayPal and received another message stating it's been shipped. I already know Ian's quality hats are quite nice. So all in all a good friday of goodies. I will post pics when the rest arrives

i only posted this to help others of my positive shopping experience and by no means mean to be disrespectful to all the other wonderful vendors

Another Happy Friday. I returned home from work to find my new 16 oz Graham kilt from Burnetts. Let me just say I am very happy with the construction of the garment. Had it pleated to stripe to give contrast. Made to measure and it fits wonderfully.

Also I received my navy doublet this week. I'm really happy with the quality as well. Had it made in barathea wool so it'll be a little less warm in the summer months

Can you please invest in a camera that doesn't take sideways photos?

I've got a crick in my neck, now!

Nice to see someone happy with internet purchases. You chose the right route, going for well established and well recommended suppliers. Well done. Who did you order the doublet from?

Yeah sorry that's how the picture posted. I took them.with my smart phone. I made the doublet purchase at scottishstoreonline.com. The pictures didn't tell much so a blind leap of faith and I liked the price and Was really quite impressed with the outcome.

I had a quick look at their site and the are a few warning bells ringing. Thankfully, you are happy with your doublet. Do you know where they are situated (or is that photo of a store on their site fake)?

**Stoneyburnpiper** · 3rd May 14, 05:06 PM

I too had warning bells, but after emailing him a handful of times it put me at ease a bit. I think the picture is from his home with the merchandise. His name is Tim and is located in New York. I then found a Facebook page of the store and he's a vendor at some of the games. I actually remember his booth a year or 2 back when he came to Detroit. So once I seen that I figured I'd try it out. The doublet took about 6 weeks to arrive. In the email correspondences he said they are shipped from the UK. I got the choice between Melton or Barathea for the same price so I picked Barathea. I'm a very cautious shopper when it comes to sending $$ for products without seeing. And just by the emails back and forth for about a month I took the plunge. I would based on my experience recommend his store to others as I wouldn't hesitate to purchase it again. Hope this helps. I know it's not MoD but for my solo gigs it looks pretty regale.
