Since Lenexa is only about 3 hours away from here, the Springfield Scots are very familiar with J. Higgins. Their prices are very reasonable for accessories, and yes, a lot in the piping & drumming community use them as a source, but I know several lads who have been disappointed with kilts from Higgins in the last couple of years -- one friend of mine ordered his first kilt from them back in 1995, and it was spot on -- he ordered another in 1999-2000, and it wasn't the same quality as his first one.

My first two custom kilts were from Higgins, and I noticed the same thing -- the first was better than the second in quality, although both were good kilts & I don't regret ordering them.

Cheers,

Todd
