I recently had the opportunity to deal with John for the purchase of one of his kilts, a Lamont Ancient pleated to the stripe. John is a pleasure to deal with and a true gentleman. His kilts are more than reasonable in price - I bought a handmade kilt, Locharren wool, with matchng flashes, shipped from Scotland to Texas for less than 300 pounds including shipping. The kilt looked brand new when it arrived, according to my wife, and arrived in a little over a week. I have yet to see it in person - currently deployed to Iraq. Will have to wait until mid-tour leave to lay eyes on it. But my wife has been in the mens clothing and fashion industry for many years, it's her career, so when she says it's a quality garment - I believe her. If there is a kilt that you're interested in, John is more than happy to send you as many photos as you request and will answer any and all questions. True, this is not a bespoke kilt made to your measure, but if John has something that suits your fancy and is in your size, it is well worth an email or two to get pictures. Keep in mind that this is not John's full-time job, so it may take a day to get a response, but get it you will.
