    Great Highand Wear

    This company offers the hand-made Culloden shoes and the Glenfinnan shoes for $43.00 plus shipping. How can they do that ?! These shoes ( I have some) cost me £200 GBP.

    And a Sherifmuir jacket for $145.00 ?!

    I fear we should be very wary of this company. I will not be trading with them.

    They only ship to the UK, so I can't get a pair of their buckle brogues for $35 after all.
    Has anyone had any dealings with them, or are we all speculating "what might happen"?

    A couple of things (from my humble perspective) This business man is not attempting to hide where his product is manufactured while many others do. On his "About Us" link, it is clearly stated that the factory is in Punjab, Pakistan.

    Likewise, the prices vary depending on which currency you select at the top of the screen. Be careful, more that the United States use the $ sign to indicate currency. The US currency converter is on the top right. (thus solving the issues of the $35 brogues.)

    With all of that being said, be a wise consumer.

    With respects....

    Excellent! The way I see it, if your product is as good as you say it is, then your images will reflect the high quality that is expected from Highland attire. I'm sure you will understand the ire as many of the companies that you used images from have worked very hard to get to where they are in the world and when someone goes to your site and views the same image of a product sold for more, on theirs, but you are cheaper, confusion ensues. I know that I for one am not above getting a good deal for something of the same quality, I just like to see fair business practices implemented from the point of a business owner myself.

    I just emailed a question about your shoe sizes. Does Great Highland Wear use the UK, US, or European sizing method?
