It is hard to say for Tan Ghillie Brogues, I might check out local tartan shops if there are any near you or you might want to check out Hector Russell they were at the highland games I attended a few weeks ago and had a sale on.

I've bought items from them and have been satisfied. If you can't afford a real, wool kilt, they're fine for something to knock around in.

Ah, I think I remember this shop on High St. Was surprised to see a turbanned guy in charge... Mostly tat, true. As for the brogues, I searched all the XMTS sponsors, and none had tan/brown, so I placed an order (yikes). Came to $68 US for all leather brogues (15% discount/free shipping). I'll let y'all know (a) if they ever arrive

and (b) the quality -- just for research sake.

Don't expect miracles and you won't be disappointed, we all at some point think we're going to get the deal of the century, and when we actually get what we pay for are miffed, at the end of the day it's all business, and there's literally a world of choice at our fingertips

Life is a long and confusing journey, so, be prepared to get lost occasionally, and always pack sandwiches and a flask

I was trying to think of an anology before, and I think I've got one, Gold Bros lets us in at the basement, and then via experience and better purchases, hopefully

, we make it up to the penthouse

okie dokie, sunday night I won(?) the EBay auction for a heritage of scotland 8yard, black, 'fashion' kilt, sent them the cash on monday, received an e-mail from them on wednesday, and received the kilt this morning(thursday). It's well worth it's rrp, £34.99, I think, and I'm laughing my gusset off, because it cost me 9 quid

Well, that's all I can say about the Kirkcaldy branch.
But, just so you don't think this is some naff infomercial, if you look in the 'Buyer Beware' thread elsewhere, you'll see the results of my dealing with the midlands branch of the Gold bros

, so imho, it's Kirkcaldy 1 - Midlands 0

I also ordered my first kilt from Heritage of Scotland. I got a whole outfit, kilt, belt, sporran, ghillie shirt, and hose. It came in a timely fashion, and between the time I ordered the stuff and the time the payment went through, exchange rates changed and I saved about US$15! The only negatives for me are the sporran, which is definitely cheaply made and has required a couple repairs to remain in duty, and the shirt, which while it meets and fulfills all descriptions and functions of such a garment, I hardly ever wear it because it's just too hot in any temperature above 60°F. I would order form them again, and I have recommended them to others looking for an affordable entry to more traditional styled kilts.

In contrast, my second kilt purchase was a made-to-order wool kilt from a member of this board. I paid 7 months ago and have nothing to show for it but a few scattered responses to my many many emails. In retrospect, I probably should have spent the same money and ordered two more kilts from Heritage of Scotland.

Who was that?! I feel you should let us all know so any potential customers won't have to re-live that bad experience.
