Many of us don't have a local vendor for Highland attire thus we must rely on the on-line vendors .

However ... I have made many major purchases from 8 or 9 of the XMarks advertisers / vendors and have experienced great customer service every time . Also , I have made purchases from craftsmen recommended by XMarks members and XMarks hobbyists . Great service and great products each time .

"Great customer service" is definitely important when purchasing a kilt , jacket , sporran , etc . If you find yourself needing (or wanting) to use "on-line" vendors .... I would recommend the advertisers here or other craftsmen recommended here. I think you will find these folks are truly of high merit and you will get "the next best thing" to actually walking into an actual shop .
