Scotweb kilts

**BBNC** · 8th December 12, 08:08 AM

Has anyone had any experience with the quality of Bespoke 5yd. kilts available on Scotweb in 15oz. wool?. I'm limited to only a few suppliers, as my tartan (Muirhead) is not widely available, and Scotweb has the best selection.

Welcome aboard BBNC.

Scotweb is the owner of DC Dalgleish, but I believe that any kilt maker should be able to order that tartan for you. The same as if the tartan was sold only by Strathmore, or House of Edgar, or Lochcarron, the limited availability of a tartan does not mean that you have to use the mills kilt makers too.

Hope that helps.

Thanks for the info, I will contact other makers, but I believe my question was asking about the quality of one maker: Bespoke. I'm sure that like many other things, price alone does not indicate quality, or a great deal.

Whilst I am sure that Scotweb will make a perfectly good kilt there is nothing quite like having direct liaison with the actual kiltmaker. My vote would be to pick a kiltmaker from the forum there are plenty and deal directly with them.

If you're in the US you may get landed with extra taxes too (which can be significant) when ordering from the UK.

No idea on your original Q, but welcome anyway...

As one who owns a couple of kilts from Scotweb (an 8yd Traditional, and 5yd Casual, just not the Bespoke kilt specifically), in addition to Prince Charlie and Braemar coatees and jackets from them, I can say Scotweb deals with very nice stuff. Other sources are out there (as others will attest), and you will/might get hit with import duties (as others will attest.) But as a Scotweb customer myself, I have no complaints at all with their product offerings, and have had wonderful dealings with their customer service people.
