Hello. This is my first post. I’m hoping some of you can recommend makers of heirloom quality highland dress and accessories based in the United States.

While living in Scotland I sought out makers of unique, high quality items for my highland dress collection. I purchased most of my current collection at the following shops in Edinburgh: Kinloch Anderson (kilts and jackets), Gordon Nicolson (sporrans and leather goods), and Hamilton & Inches (sterling silver accessories). I had many positive experiences with these makers, and the items should last at least a few lifetimes.

I’m now based in Washington, DC, and would like to find U.S.-based makers that offer items of similar (or superior) quality. I’m comfortable shopping at brick-and-mortar stores within driving distance and via the web. Where should I start my search?
