    Not A Jacket, However...

    I can tell you John is an excellent guy to work with. I own 2 of his kilts and would have no hesitation in recommending him. If you have questions or concerns I would drop him an email. John has always been pretty prompt getting back to me. No worries about working with this firm.

    Based on all the good reviews, I would not hesitate to do business with Keltoi. But for the sake of comparison and being thorough, I'll point point out that tartanweb has the same jackets at pretty reasonable prices...

    Yes, but with shipping, duty, and other fees, the price would be identical.

    Well this is not to be augmentative, but for the record;
    I have ordered a few items over the years from Tartanweb, including a jacket and waistcoat.
    There is over a $150 difference in the prices of the jackets in question, $270 vs. $425.
    As I recall, the shipping on my TW jacket order a few years ago was less than $20, and it was sent via royal mail - parcelforce so there was no duty fee.

    I understand, Zardoz, but you live in United States, unlike the OP and myself. Totally different. I import things from Tartanweb (Gaelic Themes) weekly. Shipping (via) Parcelforce for a jacket would be 31.00 GBP, there is then a potential 15% duty imposed on both shipping and price, GST (which I also have to charge) on the total, and then an $8.00 GST collection fee levied by Revenue Canada. As you can see, things add up rather quickly. Also, their currency converter is WAY off. 199.95 GBP is approx. $319 CAD, not $270.

    I have bought a kilt and several small items from John and have nothing but great praise for his work and professionalism. Just drop him a line and ask your questions. That should give you a real feel for the man.
