The Scottish Lion Import Shop

**SlackerDrummer** · 17th January 12, 08:38 AM

Scottish Lion was one of the early mail-order suppliers of Scottish imports in the United States and one of the first mass rental sources for kilt outfits. I had no problems with them back in 1999 when my wedding party kilted up for the event. That said, it is my understanding that they have not been able to keep pace with the growing online market. There are better options today.

They've also changed ownership since 1999. My only dealings with them were circa 2001-02 -- again prior to the ownership change.

I still receive their e-mails and print catalogs from time to time, but haven't been especially impressed.

Yep severing ties after this order. Supposedly "I'll have my kilt before the month is out" as per the E-mail I reccieved the other day. I would have canceled my order but it sounds like the fabric is on the seamsters(reses) stitching table and I don't want to risk being only two weeks form a kilt I've wanted for a number of years, (Farquharson weathered) and have to start the whole process all over again! I would have originaly gone through USA Kilts with Rocky or Kelly or one of their employee's but I wanted a Box pleated kilt so I didn't. "Here endith the lesson" as per Sean Connery from the "Untouchables". I'll go though MAC Newsome for all my box pleated kilts from now on I think.
Thank you all soo very kindly for you informative post's on an incompetent company.
