That's exactly what I'm *not* looking for, unfortunately. I don't like the epaulettes and gauntlet cuffs. Looking for something more like a conventional suit jacket, but cut to the proper length to wear with a kilt.

This is called a "Wallace" jacket and is available from any shop that carries the Gaelic Themes brand.

You must’ve missed the part where you can select the options that you prefer, including epaulets and cuffs…

I had a jacket made with no epaulets and a single button on the cuff.

Read The options.

I must have indeed! Thanks for pointing that out.

I have a mind like a steel trap -- nothing gets in.

Maybe check out St Kilda - they ship to the US, The have the Wallace Jacket and similar style called the Rothesay - but if you look at their made to order Day Kilt Jacket and Vests or their Kirkton Tweed Jackets and Vests you have plenty of choices on style, epaulettes, jacket buttons, cuff buttons, pocket styles, waistcoat with or without lapels, straight or pointed bottoms etc - plus lots of choice of different tweeds

Bear in mind that HM's jackets are bespoke, not off the peg, which in part why they look, so good. There's nothing like a bespoke jacket for comfort and fit.

What is the reason so many in the USA are reluctant to buy Highand dress items from Scottish suppliers?

I doubt it can be the language barrier, so is it a fear of the shipping costs, worries about payment, or a suspicion of being ripped-off perhaps?

I am aware of a few individuals who now refuse to sell to customers in the US, so I wonder if there is something amiss somewhere.

With many years' experience of shipping to and from the USA, I have to say (other than the shipping costs which are significantly more than shipping to Canada) sending to the USA is as easy as to any other country.

...

Not wanting to deal with the unknown is part of it. Tariffs, VAT, customs. I've never dealt with any of it, and I'm not sure I want to.

Another part is, if something goes wrong with an order, I know how to deal with US companies including escalation paths to seek redress should the need arise. And honestly, I'd feel bad complaining to a store in Scotland, even if my complaint was legitimate. I don't want to be seen as a rude American.

Also, sometimes it's hard to tell if a product suits your tastes when buying online. With a US company I can ship it back at a nominal cost. If it has to cross the ocean, costs go up.

Then there's economy of scale. If I'm getting one thing shipped to me, it will cost more than if a US reseller receives a large shipment. So often I can buy Scottish imported goods from a US reseller for the same price or cheaper than buying it direct from the store in Scotland.

Although, I'd love to buy some tartan direct from a mill. But they seem to be geared toward selling in large quantities to businesses, and I don't know how much it would cost. They don't post prices, and shipping is likely prohibitively expensive. Conversely, US tartan resellers have their price per yard listed clearly, and will sell as little as a single yard.
