Ummm, Kiltmart's website says they moved to Tallahassee, Florida...seems a very weird choice. Don't imagine there was much stock to pack up and transport.
I still struggle with the concept that an acrylic garment costing $59.00 can be called "heavy," or a "kilt." But that's just me.
Graeme "Trusts only himself with making sure measuring... is done properly." Kiltmart offers waist sizes in 2" increments and never bothers to mention kilt length.
There's obviously, and thankfully, a vast difference between these two businesses.
Calling Arizona Kilts a "replacement" for Kiltmart is like calling a BMW a replacement for a tricycle.

Well its the truth. Kiltmart was contacted back in November, so there was several months before they actually found a new business to write about. I doubt the Arizona Republic could tell (or care about) the differences you itemized.

Kakkui 1037, my curiosity is piqued-how is it you know this info? Are you in the news business?
I made a visit to Kiltmart almost 2 years ago. I have to say that i was not impressed. I haven't yet been out to see Graeme but his rep precedes him to be sure.
Regards,

I'll second Ron's comments. I hadn't realized that Kiltmart had moved. They, for the most part, are a joke. (I say for the most part, because I have purchased some things from them, but only because I could go in and examine the goods.) In Phoenix they were located on Central Ave, just south of Steele Indian School Park in a pawn shop. The kid who worked there knew nothing about kilts. And they are a sponsor of XMTS?
