I have the 8yd Balmoral from them and am very pleased with the workmanship. Like others, my biggest problem was the sticker shock from the customs end at FedEx. Three days after the kilt arrived I got the bill for an extra $75. I've heard many stories about getting kilts shipped from Europe. One is that is that if the contents are labeled as wool fabric on the shipping container then it has less value than a handsewn kilt and the customs charge will be lower. I don't know if this is true and I don't know if customs opens the package to find the invoice and charges a percentage off that.
Like I said, I'm still happy with the kilt but would rather spend my money in the future here in the states.
