Let me affirm what others have mentioned - Graeme is a fine, straight-talkin', honest lad. I consider it an honor to call him a friend. I've always gotten a good, fair deal from him. He stands behind his merchandise. He's a fount of kilt or Scottish related information. And he only sells quality merchandise.

About 3 years ago I got the major components of my formal Highland outfit from him - full 8-yd "tank" (with matching garter, of course), Prince Charlie jacket & waistcoat, fly plaid, hose, & ghillie brogues. The formal sporran, sgian dhu, clan kilt pin, tuxedo shirt, studs, silk bow tie, clan cuff-links, & clan broach I purchased separately on line. That's a lot of stuff & the whole outfit cost about $2,000. My philosophy, though, has always been that in the long run, it's always cheaper to buy well-made, good quality clothing (or anything for that matter). You'll look better, feel better & if properly cared for, it'll give you years, even a lifetime of service & pleasure.

I get an annual bonus through my day job (or my soon-to-be former day job), so I was able to get the whole outfit in one shot, but Thunderbolt had a good suggestion of assembling your Highland outfit "Beag air bheag."

As a DJ who frequently entertains at weddings, I regularly wear my Highland outfit. It's an investment I'm glad I made.

Anyway, that's all down the road, for your cruise, Graeme's made you a very generous deal. I'd say, enjoy it (with the plaid, is my vote) & wear it with pride!

I look forward to seeing the kilted photos from your cruise (& meeting you soon at one of our NW Valley kilt nights).
