But it's not only that, it's the instant gratification afforded by the off the peg kilts. Perhaps the more "traditional" shops should be thinking of fighting back on the same terms and offering a range of off the peg, genuine, made in Scotland kilts. Of course they can't compete on price but they can compete on quality and having items that buyers do not have to wait for."

I once broke a journey south from Aberdeen to call at Kinloch-Anderson in Leith in order to buy one of their Breacan kilts only to find the range available 'off-the-peg' to be VERY limited and the salesman most unhelpful. Needless to say I'll not be calling there again.
