20% off everything sale Friday 12/26 only

Okay, before everybody takes my head off, I still haunt the sales at our common nemesis (the Gold Bros) store online Heritage of Scotland, as I can find some decent deals occasionally and when they have very special, usually short lived sales, like this one. 20% off the whole store Friday 12/26 only, 17.5% off Saturday 12/27 only, and 15% Sunday 12/28 only, as part of a Boxing Day special sale.

Not that I would want that much of the tat they sell, but for things like tartan fabric you can make a pretty good steal, especially with free shipping and with the exchange rate at about 1.5 US$ for each GBP. I can get 4 meters of HOE rare and select MacDonald of Glencoe Muted double width (says so in their ad) for around $185 shipped, and since it is under $200US there is no customs regardless of how they ship it.

Again, I am very selective about what I order from them, but so far they have treated me right and come through well on each of several ordering encounters. I ordered 4m of double width 16oz rare Allen 1996 tartan several months ago on a similar sale and even though they originally said it was in stock, they discovered it was not, and went to Dalgleish mill and had 8 meters of custom woven single width 16 oz made up special for me with no extra charge, just a month or two extra wait time for delivery.

So check it out, you might find something that strikes your fancy at a good price, but remember, caveat emptor. After all it is still the Gold Bros business.

Hmm ... Hunting Robertson Weathered in 16 oz., enough for a box-pleated kilt ... thanks for the heads up - I may have to consider this.

Thanks Downix. I guess I just assumed everybody knew the web site and the Gold Bros. Thanks for picking up my slack.
