My first kilt at all is a Higgins. Apparently, they have had some minor displeasure from a couple of folks on this board, but my kilt is wonderful. I also have found that any issues that come up will be dealt with immediately and properly. (No kilt issues for me, but I ordered a set of pipes from Higgins as well and there were two minor things that got cleared up right away.)

I'd also give him a thumbs up, but I have to admit I have never compared to an all-hand-sewn from one of the top folks. Still, for the price and the quality, I think it is a very good deal and very hard to beat.

And the whole band in Fairbanks wears Higgins kilts. For what it is worth. No complaints I have heard.
