    I haven't bought from them, but as a first time kilt buyer, may I recommend something like a Stillwater or USAKilt?

    A smaller initial investment for an excellent product, AND you can always step up to the tank within a year!

    Just my 2 cents, though. Get what YOU want!

    I'd only point out that they are located in the UK and you very well could get nailed with import taxes in addition to the cost of the kilt and shipping. I've heard more positive about them than negative so I'm sure you will get a great product and service, but the fact that the taxes could add $50 or more to the kilt is enough to keep me from buying from them.

    Counter offer, How about one of our resident kilt makers?

    Aye, I was thinking about Matt Newsome, he is the man when it comes to tartan knowledge, and kilt making. And I didn't think about the import tax, etc. Great point. Money is an issue, so it may put me over the edge. I'll have to keep on researching.

    If money is an issue, look into The Scotland Yard, they have a time pay plan where you can order anything you want and pay $50.00/month ($75.00 down) until it's paid off. They carry Gunn Ancient, Gunn Modern, and Gunn Weathered tartans also. They are located in the USA.

    Do they send goons to repossess your kilt if you miss a payment? I was not aware they offered payment plans. Now I will have to call them for more info.
