Yes IMHO they're top-shelf, and their prices reflect that.
I visited them in August 2024. I was surprised that their big impressive shop right by the Castle was gone (the last time I was in Edinburgh was 2007) and now they're up a narrow staircase in an obscure shop a bit further down the street.
The place was more like a store-room, with racks full of jackets and kilts everywhere, and a cheery young man and young woman busy with online and phone orders.
At first they assumed I was picking up an order. When I explained I was just having a look they welcomed me to take my time, which I did.
They had racks of jackets which as I said appeared identical in cut and fit to the jackets I saw at all the other legitimate Highland Wear shops. However they were lacking the tell-tale "peat" tweed, the mark of the House of Edgar jackets which most shops had.
