They are not cheap, but Kinloch Anderson are the finest outfitters in the land, holding three royal warrants. they also visit the Caledonian club in Belgravia, London once a month to help exiles like me

"They offer a triple fringe on the right front apron."

What's that sorry? I'm a complete kilt novice

On the right-hand side of the apron (as worn), there's a fringe comprised of the bare horizontal thread ends. Some kilt have a single strip of fringe, some have two. These people apparently offer three... though to be honest, I can't imagine why

I guess more rows implies a better quality kilt?

Three do look good

He's right my black kilt has a row of red with black on either side and it does look good.

Mine is from Celtic Craft Centre. I was in Edinburgh and they measured me last Jul. 31. They produced an absolutely perfect and beautiful kilt and since then a beautiful fly plaid from the same bolt of material for me. I love it dearly, and there is no question in my mind that the work is exceptionally high quality. Indeed it has a triple fringe and while that is very subtle, it is absolutely a mark of superior attention to detail in production.

Unfortunately, living here in Canada, they're not very good at answering E-mails promptly or communicating when they run into delays in general. On the due-date for my kilt it wasn't here, so my credit-card company cancelled them and all of a sudden they answered my E-mails. Turns out that they couldn't get my tartan from the mill and hadn't told me. At that point, they put on a real rush and did an exceptionally perfect job. I'm still waiting for the matching flashes; they told me that they thought they had sent them.

Always found Houston Kiltmakers High Street, Paisley, near the university, good for quality and price. I know its bit of a distance from Edinburgh but worth looking up

Received my flashes and loops from Celtic Craft Centre by this morning's post. Excellent quality and perfectly sewn. I'll deal with them again for sure. :ootd:

I suggest D.C. Dalgliesh. They have to best tartan available on the market.
