Buying a kilt, fly plaid and prince charlie in Toronto
So I'm about to by a new kilt and fly plaid in 16oz strome weight, Stewart of Atholl (Modern) Tartan along with a prince charlie jacket and vest.I've priced it out at the two main shops in Toronto, and am looking at The Scottish Company. The price with them is a wee bit cheeper than Cairngorm whom I bought a vest from a few months back which was at the very top of the price range and all of the buttons fell off! The guys at the store told that this may happen and I would have said get lost then but someone was buying it for me as a gift. I was surprized that they would let a product leave the store knowing that this WOULD happen. It definetly speaks to theyre dedication to quality, I'm not going there again. So I then bought an Argyll and vest from the Scottish Company on Leslie st and the vest is too big,which isnt really a big deal, I'msure that they will help me out with this when I go back, but I am a bit hesitant as my next purchase is a significant investment, an I of course want it to be "TOP" quality! My question is.. Does anyone have any suggestions as to who to buy from to get the best -Price and Quality/Workmanship? I'm looking at Scotweb and USA kilts(good prices!) but I want a product made by a proper kilt maker and as far as Burnetts and Struth go, a Kiltmaker in Victoria showed me a bad example from them.
