Tartanista
Yesterday I ordered an Argyll vest from Tartanista through Amazon.
Shortly after 10 this morning our recptionist said that there was a package for me. Rather confused as I wasn't expecting anything today, (shipping time was 2-5 days), sure enough there was my vest!
It even came with a free mini carrier.
How John manages to regulary exceed my expectations still amazes me...
I'll try to put pics up over the next few days.

That is a good example of excellent customer service.
Well done John!
Yeah, that'd be great to see the pictures.

Sounds like Tartanista is giving Stillwater a run for their money in terms of shipping speed, eh?
Please do post some pics and also review the quality...

As I said, I'll try to put some pics up soon. I'll edit this post and insert pics where relevant.
The stitching is very neat and strong (I have the problem of broad shoulders which can strain the seams on cheaply made garments...).
The buttons are high quality and bright metal with Lion Rampant emblem, all in the correct line.
The face has a very neat diagonal pin stripe, with a sateen back and belt adjust with a good quality chromed metal buckle.
There are two pockets which are quite copious - my Palm M103 will even fit into them!
It is very well tailored, neither being too tight nor too loose.
The carrier is clear faced with a zipped woven material back, which removes the risk of the face getting trapped in the zip, and has a loose coat hanger to allow easy removal of the vest.
For a paultry £24.99, it was a definite bargain!

Couldn't find them on Amazon - did find them on E-Bay. Is there an Amazon link? I'd be interested in seeing if they have the same things on each.
Thanks!

Well, I had trouble finding them as well as I'd forgotten to add the link to my spreadsheet for buying my highland dress items...
Now have their own site, evil bay shop and Amazon shop all safely saved.
