    Well, Welcome to the gig, from snowy Canada.

    21 years ago, when I was 16, Geoffrey Tailors of the Edinburgh Royal Mile made my tank. Its been hard done to, shipped around the world - several times, sweated in, danced in, slept rough in, vomited on, used and very badly abused; it has even been to at least 6 rambunctious Young Farmers Association Christmas balls -- and it is still in marvellous condition. Thus, I highly recommend his work!

    That said, I have spoken with Steve from Freedom Kilts, Robert from RKilts, and Matt from New House Highland. I will try them all over the next year, and they have all been extremely helpful and patient with my queries, consequently, I recommend them as well.

    Good luck with your purchase, but i might suggest that you may need a 5 or 6 yard kilt for your country - my tank can get pretty warm!
