    Had great experience for my wedding with the Groomsmen in Scottish National from Scottish Merchant in Alexandria.

    http://www.scottishmerchant.com/kilt_rentals.php

    They ship anywhere, the rental manager is awesome with a lot of experience with sizing people, even from afar... I would heartily recommend them!

    My experience is that there is some variation in rental tartans available. I went with the one that went best with my Livingston kilt (mostly red) and the color (red) of the bridesmaids dresses (and most importantly, the one my wife liked best, which involved ordered swatches and comparing with bridesmaid dress swatches, for full disclosure).

    Scottish National has only a touch of red, but that was enough to make it a touch better than the Black Watch. I also didn't want it to be a *different* red than mine that would just be confused, like Royal Stewart, so I went with the Scottish National for the groomsmen. It was subdued, but very nice.

    I also had another friend at the wedding rent from the Scottish Tartans Museum on his own, and he got the National Millenium tartan, which I also really liked! A beautiful tartan!

    Highly recommend both shops.

    www.scotyard.com without a doubt. Reaonable prices and great customer service. I had my groomsmen down there getting fitted at the end of March.

    I thought that J. Higgins had rentals but I could not find rentals on their website.

    Not sure why this thread was resurrected...8 months old??

    But no need to go to Salt Lake City to rent kilts if you're in Albuquerque. Kathy Lare arranges rentals there in town... www.kathyskilts.com
