They are one of the Gold brothers web sites selling almost exactly what their others, Heritage of Scotland and John Morrison. You will get a lot of opinions about them, their quality, business ethic, service, etc. Just do a search for Gold Brothers and you should get lots of hits from this website.
I will only speak from personal experience. I bought two tanks from them when they had a big sale a few months ago. Sizing was a little large for the specs but within reason, and the quality was good with decent turnaround time. I like and wear both proudly. Then, about a month later they had a good sale on Lovat tweed jacket and waistcoat sets, so I ordered one. I have been waiting nearly three months for it, and just found out there will be at least another months delay----something about their supplier going out of business and having to find another source to make the jacket set (meanwhile they continue to list the same item on their website for custom manufacture and 4-6 week delivery). Since I ordered it in early March expecting to have it by now, I am a bit frustrated that I won't have it in time for my trip to Scotland next week. They have offered no solutions except to wait it out.
And lastly, they tend to ship by FEDEX, which means you end up getting dinged big time with customs fees plus the extra Fedex handling charges. Just to add insult to injury.
