My tank is a year and a half old and came from Higgins. I can't find any fault with it, but I'm not an expert. Still, it is lovely material, solid workmanship, and seems a very high quality garment. Comparing it with my mother's first kilt (hand sewn in Scotland back in the 60s) the Higgins comes out ahead in solidity, feel, and outright macho factor.

I also ordered my new bagpipe through Higgins. There was a slight problem (wrong reeds) and he sorted it out right away. I'd be willing to bet that any problems with his products would be dealt with properly. I've been happy with both transactions I've done there.
