New Package Deals

For years, customers who have come into our store have been getting more options for their kilt packages than those customers on our website.  In the interest of fairness, we wanted ALL of our customers (whether online or in store) to have lots of different options when it came to package deals...

Do you want the Casual Pub Package, but want to upgrade the kilt to a Semi Trad or 5 Yard wool?  Do you want a Tweed jacket and vest with your Argyll Package instead of the normal black Argyll jacket?  Did you want a different buckle from the 4 offered?

Now you have more choices!  We've launched our new package deals on our website to be able to accommodate people's most popular requests.  We've also expanded the options given for each of the packages, so you'll have choices of 15 - 20 buckles instead of 4, 15 - 20 sporrans instead of 6, etc.

Click here to go to a list of all the new package deals on our website.

The packages can also be broken down by which KILT you want by putting your mouse over the "Kilts and Packages" option in our menu bar, then clicking on the style of kilt down the right hand side.

Here are some of the package deal pics:

Updating the store

With the weather turning nice and foot traffic in the store picking up, we decided to look at different ways to improve our storefront.  We took a field trip to several upscale menswear stores and with a critical eye, tried to assess what they did well in merchandising their spaces.  The one thing that stood out was the stores that used wood fixtures really had a classy / traditional 'feel' to them.

Keeping that in mind, we've begun a store makeover.  The first step was to invest in new counter displays, freestanding fixtures, etc.  Next we'll focus on replacing our slatwall with the same color wood slatwall to improve the feel of our shop.  

Below are a few pictures of the fixtures we pieced together this past Sunday.  Do you think we've hit the mark or have we missed it with our new Cherry display cases?

New Ghillie Brogues

While we've been happy with our Endrick model ghillie brogues, we've always wanted 2 things which weren't available...

1.  Brown Ghillies - We weren't able to find a source for quality brown ghillie brogues.  They look very smart with daywear and tweeds, especially when paired with a brown sporran and / or brown belt.  

2.  WIDE sizes for our ghillie brogues.  We often have customers with wide feet asking us "do you carry wide sizes in your Endrick model ghillies" and we've always had to tell them no and suggest moving up a half size.  

Well, after years of looking, we found a source (in Scotland) for both! We are now carrying brown ghillie brogues as well as WIDE sizes in our Black Ghillie Brogues (Glenfinnan model ONLY).  







Are there any other products you'd like to see us start carrying that aren't on our website right now?
