    I got one of their "16oz" acrylics off of EBay and for the price I'm very pleased with it, but I got a "13oz" as well and if wasn't so good. It's ok again for the price, but doesn't hang, or hold the creases so well as the other one. However they do have some nice fashion tartans.
    If their kilts hang like their website does, I'll give them a miss... the page is struggling like an ambulance in heavy traffic

    I think I've bought a "kilt" from them a few months ago, namely the Patriot tartan...

    It was so badly designed, I chucked it in the bin. It's only saving grace was the crappy little kilt pin they throw in. After taking the basting stiches (transit stitches) out, it looked more like a crumpled netball skirt or something. The pleats don't seem pressed a well as they could... Stick to HoS for budget kilts. Melville Kilts do some good ones on eBay (bauhaus boy is his seller ID

    Are you an EMT? I spent 10 years in the Ambulance Service. Six in London and four in Dorset.

    The kilt you got, sounds similar to the one I wasn't happy with. The first one I was really pleased with though. I didn't get any pin with either of them though. I liked them because the tartans are generic. I don't want to buy Scottish tartans, because I don't have any Scots ancestry, so I stick to fashion tartans, like "spirit of Wales" and my newly invented Welsh surname plaid.

    Sadly not an EMT but had lots of dealings with paramedics as I had a son who had lots of issues of respiratory arrest incidents due to cerebral palsy and having a tracheostomy. LAS (London) were great but the congested A10 (and local roads thanks to the RMT tube strike) reminded me of the crappy site I stumbled across. It took 2 minutes to load, despite a fibre connection

    I also have never heard of any of the 'tartans' they use (they all look a dirty grey colour or similar), why cant they sell regular PVs like Gold Bros/ HoS? The Roving Celt sounds more like a bad Highland themed bar

    Have nothing to do with Clanncelt or whatever they call themselves. Its the worst form of tat from Pakistan. The only Scottish thing will be the Royal Mail bag it will be delivered in

    Sorry to hear about your son. One of mine was born with spina bifida which inspired me to join LAS, but after 10 years of it I was stressed and burned out. The move to Dorset Ambulance was a huge mistake. Outsiders not welcome.

    No they are all their own tartans but they aren't as bad as they look, however as a cheap starter kilt, not too bad. I did actually get the roving celt, but it is pretty poor quality but then it is cheap tat. I don't think I'll be getting anything else from them.
