    Because of your post Graham, I looked up scottishkilts.net and checked out their stock. Long story short, I ordered the same jacket/waistcoat combo as you did on the 14th of October, received a "confirmation of order" e-mail on the 17th, and this evening I went to the post office to pick up my express mail package (the 25th). Not too shabby for turn around time from the UK!! Also, a suprisingly good fit off the rack (I'm a 50 long)-I doubt I'll have it altered. Pictures will follow as time permits.

    Bryan...thumbs up to Scottishkilts & Graham...

    I'm very pleased to hear that Bryan, you'll look as sharp as me now :mrgreen:
    It's a lovely jacket and the waistcoat will be good to wear on it's own for more casual.

    That is impressive Bryan. Sure makes kilting a lot harder when we have all these great options!

    Glad to hear more people are finally noticing Scottishkilts.net and their fine selection. I have been praising them since March when I first got the same jacket and waistcoat. I guess we all just need the "Grand Defender's" opinion first.....

    Scottishkilts.net is a good company. I started recommending them over a year and a half ago when I bought a kilt from them. Prices are reasonable and the quality is very good. One other nice thing is they ship to the US through a parent corporation so often you don't get clobbered by duty charges.

    I remember that. Your review and a review and correspondence with Alaskan on another site are what lead me to check them out. They will be making my next kilt without a doubt.

    Nothing personal Colin: I just joined the list at the end of August! Still, you must take a certain amount of pleasure realizing that once again, you've led the charge from the front.

    Bryan...firmly in the vanguard it seems...

    I think it's funny that we - as a group - recommend various places based on our good experiences, and everyone else goes out and gets them. Which is great - I'm all for sharing good experiences. I'm just waiting for an X-Marks gathering where everyone is wearing a Thomson Grey USA Kilt, a charcoal jacket and waistcoat from Scottishkilts.net, and a Freelander sporran. I guess at the very worst we'll all look like a pipe band. ;)

    Andrew.

    None taken, I was just taking the piss. David from Scottishkilts used to be on here for awhile himself in the begining.

    Enjoy the jacket, I have found I use it way more than I ever thought I would. Now, which tartan to get for that kilt from them........

    It certainly does go in phases doesn't it? The tartan may change and the accessory, but it does happen quite frequently. Too bad not many of us can play the pipes.
