Thanks!

I did spend yesterday wandering around Edinburgh and visiting the kilt shops I had found online, the "usual suspects" as you say.

I hadn't seen Peter's post about Stewart Christie, though it's a familiar name I somehow missed it when looking at shops online.

The most interesting place was Geoffrey Tailor, no longer with a ground-level shop but stairs leading to an upstairs room with a couple pleasant people busy working on online orders and such.

There were dozens of lovely tweed jackets, many one-offs waiting for pickup and a rack of odd one-offs for low prices, the last remaining jackets in tweeds they used to stock. Of course none of those were in my size.

I do have a Geoffrey jacket I bought directly from them. A couple years ago they had listed some ex-hire charcoal Crails on Ebay one of which was in my size.
