Help with a multitude of choices

Miah, long long ago....in a land (NOT) very far away (MCB-CP)...Semper Fi.

Does anyone have any experience with J. Higgins Ltd. from Kansas?

I know I want to buy quality, pay for it once and it should last forever if well taken care of. Buy cheap and you keep paying for it.

Also in Redlands, CA there is a shop. R. P. Blandford & Son, Ltd..... the owner seems very nice and the kilts look great.

I've been in there but don't know enough about anything to decide, can any one add anything about them?

Thanks
Ed

A lot of folks I know who have experience with Higgins report a very "hit and miss" experience in regards to quality; some good, some bad. They used to be better, but I'm hearing more and more not-so-good things about them recently.

I recommend Hector Russell's Canadian branch in Toronto:

Darren, the manager, is not only a trained kilt maker, but very easy to work with.

Cheers,

Kiltstore.net is a sponsor for this site. They do fine work and give a 10% discount for XMarks members. Also, Kiltstore is a big enough outfit to have what you want in stock. (I'm talking accessories. The kilt will be custom made for you.)
Whomever you decide to buy from, buy all you need in one shot, from one place. It will cost you less and there will be WAY too much BS if you try to get 'deals' from different suppliers for various items.
