    Best Place To Rent A Rig?

    I have a friend who, along with his brother, are looking into wearing kilts to a wedding but can't afford to purchase the whole thing (kilt, PC, sporran, etc) at the moment. Any recommendations on who rents a decent quality setup at a fair price?

    We just started renting recently... $150 for the following:

    Kilt (8 Yard Wool in either American Heritage, Celtic Nations or Sterling tartans)
    Argyll Jacket & Vest
    White tux shirt and bow tie / ruche tie
    Black Dress sporran
    Belt / buckle
    Kilt Pin
    Charcoal hose
    solid color flashes
    Ghillie Brogues
    Sgian Dubh (safety Sgian)

    Shipping both ways is charged at cost. Customer has the outfit for 4 days.

    Rental isn't on the website yet, but we've been renting for roughly 6 months locally and a few nationally.

    Thanks Rocky! I will let him know. Don't know if they are hoping for a specific family tartan but it would be hard to pass your deal by.

    Mickey , There are alot of Kilt rental places out there but , If you use Rocky and USA Kilt
    A lest you can talk to him one on one here and he is backed up by everyone here , so you will get the best service from him .
    If they want to use a family Tartan then then can use other sites but will pay about the cost of a new kilt to rent it .

    Just my 2 cents - hope it helped

    If there is a local place, they would have the opportunity to try the suits on and avoid the cost of shipping.

    Rocky, I was looking at your site and trying to locate the Sterling tartan you mentioned, to show our son who may be making plans for prom, but I can't locate that one.

    The Celtic Croft does family kilts in a kit for 186, and then 35 extra you keep the kilts.
