Here is a google search using the words Skye Highland Outfitters and the Xmarks site domain. There has been a significant amount of discussion regarding this particular vendor.

My first thought is that, since you are "only" a couple hundred miles north of USA Kilts (as the crow flies), you might consider taking a drive down there and checking out Rocky's shop in person. It would be a great way to spend a tax return.

I won't speak to quality as I know nothing of Scotweb's 5 yarders (and haven't heard anything negative about them). I would only point out the price that you see on our site would be the "delivered to your door" price. Shipping would be free (orders over $200 get free shipping in the USA), there would be no tax (since you're not in PA and kilts aren't taxable anyway) and there would be no US Customs duties. We absorb all those costs. The kilt is made in house, here in our Spring City location by either Mac or myself.

thank you for that Rocky, you guys are really my first choice. i love both my casual PV kilts. in fact you just answered some questions for me in email that have made me decide by end of this coming week and once i decide on tartan an order will be placed.

usak has 5 yarder sale on some irish county crest tartans--$250 (including rush charge)--see the usak section.

Just adding a simple, "If it ain't broke don't fix it." :yes:
You already know the quality of Rocky's products - stick with a winner.

BTW - I'll be visiting the USAKilts store in Spring City the VERY near future - to "spend" a nice gift certificate I received for Christmas. Hoping to find a Sterling Casual off-the-rack and some other goodies to take home. It's about a three hour drive, but well worth the travel time.

Hey! If you're just trying to make us feel bad, I've got news for you. It worked.

Enjoy your trip, ... dammit!

Oops, sorry.

Actually this will be my second trip and my wife will be along this time. She provided the gift certificate (and I'll bet she also gets herself something new).
