I was cruising thier website last night and interestingly could find not one place where they describe where their physical location of business actually is sited, nor where they ship from or where their items are manufactured (either clothing or other accessories). Their item photos are identical to those on other web sites we are more familiar with, some of which may be promotional photos provided by the original manufacturer and thus be the same for all their retailers. But I am wondering if their actual items sold and shipped match up in appearance and quality as those they picture on the site.

They also have a screwy kilt ordering system, where they mention having multiple different tartans and weights, including regimental wt material, but then only list three common tartans and then two other listings of "tell you later" or " make my tartan"----what is up with that?

Their prices are too good to be true----easily 30-50% below most other vendors for what appear to be similar items. 8yd 13oz handsewn kilts for $163US? Diced Balmorals for $12.50US? Shipping is international, so steep for one or two items but more reasonable with moderately sized orders. I have been tempted to order a coupl balmorals from them just to see what the quality and service are for myself.

If this is real, and the quality of the materials and manufacture are indeed comparable to other major online vendors, and word gets out in the highlandwear community about their prices, it could signal some tough times for the rest of the industry, particularly that in Scotland, which could mean more artisanry lost forever.

Any other satisfied customers out there for GreatHighlandwear.com?
