    One advantage I noticed with Scottishkilts.net is they're part of a larger corporation that ships alot to the US. If you don't specify otherwise your stuff goes with other thangs in a corporate shipment and you don't get hit with duty at a later date. When I got my order I wasn't charged duty at all.

    Good point Bubba. My jacket was only $32 in duty where I have heard of people paying way more than that for some stuff from other vendors.

    I have noticed that their price has gone up over the past few days. I was tracking them in anticipation of christmas and what started at 307 is now about 324 and the 5 yarders at 255 are now about 284. May have to wait for the price to drop back down.

    Are we cousins?
    I fear not...

    I've Celtic ancestors...most likely from either the Louth or Laois county in Ireland...or maybe a Lewis from Wales, even a MacLeod is possible...not much is certain about my family before 1690.

    Dutch civil servant probably had some serious problems understanding the poor guy when he tried to get himself registered :-D

    So now I'm stuck with a crapy family name...Lous :-?

    Kilt store. That's probably a handy bit of information to include

    Thanks, I was actually thinking that they had gone down abit, as I was never really considering them before. As Adam pointed out, the kilt prices are now based on the tartan as well. I am pretty sure Scottishkilts.net has raised their prices a bit as well, but that's not an issue.

    As I check kilt stores site tonight it appears the prices are fluctuating greatly virtually daily. Hmmmm, I wonder if kilt prices are some how proportionate to tpetrol prices? ;-)

    That could very well be a factor. I haven't noticed, is it the base price (in Pounds) that's changing, or just the US dollar price? If it's just the US price, it's probably tied up in the exchange rate.

    I bet you're right Dave. I'm only looking at the bottom line so a small swing in the exchange rate could sway the net value $20 or more.
