Anyone know this kilt vendor in UK?

[MrLion]

I found that they have a "Duke of Fife" tartan available, and actually pictured

.
Retails for 110 pounds + shipping for a 6 yard kilt.
I'm awaiting e-mail reply back from them for add'l details on this kilt.
.
Any good or bad stories on this vendor?
Thanks

They are on the Royal Mile, right in the heart of Gold Bros. territory. They are offering a GBP350-400 kilt for GBP110... if it sounds too good to be true...

I have very good experiences with The Woollen Mills. Actually it was after visiting this vendor that I got interested in kilt wearing. Very good customer service, I should say.
I have also bought a kilt from them. It could very well be identical to the one you describe, only that I many years ago paid £ 165 for it (Ramsay tartan).
It must be only recently that they sell kilts as cheap as £ 110, equalizing £ 129.25 to Europeans like me.
Now I really feel attempted to order another one from them. Why did I read this in the first place?
I certainly should avoid this forum…

Sorry, no.

One of the reasons for the price is that they are stock tartan kilts and "hand finished" i.e. largely machine sewn and have only a limited range.

Their 8 yard made to measure kilts are £240 + VAT which would be more the average.

I don't know of any Gold Bros places that far down the High St upon that side - Cockburn St is on the left going down and is below GT/21CK and past John Knox's House.

Like Greg I am tempted - I like the look of the MacMillan!

OK I succumbed!

Review and pictures in due course!

McClef,
Thanks for your enthusiasm and order. I look forward to your review of the newly ordered
MacMillan!

Thanks for the link I may have to give them a try in future.

Thank you, we are a handsome race of men. If, however you were referring to the tartan described as Modern MacMillan or some such, you have been mis-led. It is not a MacMillan tartan. As Fedgunner has said, it is a kick *** tartan, but it most definitely isn't a MacMillan tartan.
