    While I am not a UK member I was lucky enough to pick up an ex-hire jacket and waistcoat from the Hector Russell store here in Toronto at a very good price, here is the link to my thread about it

    I actually never thought about hiring clothes but generally I am a big fan of websites where you can hire something. Most of the times I hired certain tools in order renovate my flat.
    I will definitely check the websites you have posted here because I am of the opinion that it is a good idea to hire a kilt. Hopefully I will find an appropriate one for my fiance.

    Armstrongs here in Edinburgh sell a lot of ex-hire kilts, jackets etc. but you would really need to come here. I think most of the hire people such as Geoffrey Tailor sell off their hire stock once or twice a year so it might be worth Googling Kilt-hire, Edinburgh or Glasgow and seeing what comes up.

    My only ex hire was my Welsh PC and when they were gone they were gone.

    It's likely that such items are only put up periodically and they may not advertise them widely so it may be worth contacting companies direct as to when they are likely to be holding a sale.
