Relevance of the Scottish Store?

Just to come to the defense of the local shop a little bit (of course, my local shop is a three hour drive to Franklin, NC) Because I am new to highland wear, I was very interested in a number of things. Having a real life person to ask the questions of and one who was willing to spend a couple of hours with my wife and I was a real bonus. Likewise, this same individual has spent time on the computer answering the blizzard of emails I have sent his way asking questions about various items.

So all this to say, Thank you Matt Newsome!

This was another reason I wound up buying my kilt at my shop. They are extremely nice, friendly and helpful people and definately worked hard to earn my business.

You'll never have to defend independant businesses with me. My father has been an independant retailer his entire life, and our family will always go to great lengths to support small businesses over large chains and online stores. Unfortunately there is still a point where you have to sit back and look after yourself as well. If my guys kilts and such were 10% more than everything on the net, I would buy from him every time .. but they're closer to 50% more .. and that's not something I can swallow.
