new (?) kiltmaker's web site

**James Martin** · 19th January 06, 02:45 AM

Just came across a weaver/kiltmaker's site I'd not heard of before.
No personal experience, but their site indicates they sell their own woven tartan cloth and kilts at what appear to seem to be reasonable prices (from £126 without VAT, heavyweight casual, wool).
They also propose samples for £3, where other suppliers ask for £10 or even £15 !

Unfortunately, I found this one day after ordering a second-hand kilt from e-bay -- at a higher price!

I'm also highly interested...their prices seem really reasonable.

Yes...noticed that also....and even the website has the same structure.
And also....they use the House of Edgar tartan code.

I checked both websites for a rather rare tartan...both match perfectly

Old and Rare Tartan Kilt
Tartan - Tartan: MacLaren Anc 1819 Var MWS2256

There must be a difference...House of Edgar is far more expensive...almost triple the cost (I can tell :-? )

:confused:

I like that when you select your tartan it adds an image of the tartan. Very nice touch.

Mistery solved....Tartankilts.com = The House of Edgar

I was wrong about "triple the cost"...I payed € 540 for my "Rare and Old" when I order the same kilt online it will cost me € 525.

I've noticed several kilt companies do this. For example Scottishkilts.net is also scottishthemes.com. Scottishkilts prices are usually a few dollars cheaper, but they have the same address in Glasgow, and the same pics and products on their web sites.

That's good indeed.
I hadn't even noticed that the pics appeared; I thought it was just a list of names. Wish they were a bit bigger, though.

Just got an email from Kathy Lare. My Cameron Red and Black cloth from the House of Edgar Old and Rare collection should be on its way to her today.

Its worth the bit extra to me to have something meaningful. Catherine Cameron was my three great grandmother that came from Skye to Nova Scotia during the clearances around 1850. Wanna honor her.

Doesn't hurt that the colors match the local high school's too
