Yup, and it is for real. And has been for nearly two months. I ordered my custom IoS at the end of March and it just arrived today. Haven't yet had a chance even to try it on, but it looks great hanging on the hanger. Been jonesing bad for a couple weeks now, and still have to wait another hour or so until I can try it on and "quench the thirst". Pictures will be forthcoming soon.

And, bonus, they sent custom tartan flashes with it for nothing. I don't remember seeeing that mentioned on the website as part of the deal. Sweet.

As someone shared in another thread, Marton Mills is making the IoS available. Would there be any difference in their products?

I believe these kilts are indeed utilizing MM fabric (their 16 oz., wool "Jura" range)....

I don't own any Lochcarron tartan products so I cannot compare Marton to them. I do have a Strathmore 13oz in my family tartan as well and an HoE Ancient Macdonald in 16oz Nevis, along with my Marton Mills 16 oz Black Isle and now my new IoS 16 oz, which I believe is probably Marton as well as it does not carry any Lochcarron tags (my understanding is that Lochcarron tartan stuff usually has one of their tags attached inside, regardless of the kiltmaker). Compared to the Strathmore there is a subtle coarseness in the Marton Mills fabrics, similar to the HoE Nevis, so I expect that they might be ever so slightly noticeably less refined than a Lochcarron might. But at less than half the price (my IoS was $267 customed and shipped to the US) than a comparable Lochcarron I think I can put up with it. Looks as good in my opinion.
