US ARMY SPECIAL FORCES CUSTOMERS and all tartan customers....
Please spread the word. In view of the possible tariff and customs
charges that may increase, we are NOW ordering extra stock of our tartan. Ordering today does not guarantee we will not see an increase in price by the time it is delivered, HOWEVER, we are
promising to HOLD OUR KILT PRICES WHERE THEY ARE UNTIL MARCH 15TH.
We are encouraging and asking any of you out there to spread the word to anyone you know that may have been considering a
Special Forces kilt or any other tartan garment (or yardage if applicable) to ORDER IT NOW.
We cannot guarantee that the pricing on our tartan or kilts, or bespoke tartan garments will stay the same in the current economic
situation so take advantage of it while you can.
If you have wanted any tartan item email or call us today !!!
While we hate to even think we may have to raise prices, we still will NEVER acquire anything but 100% AUTHENTIC TARTAN WOVEN AND IMPORTED FROM SCOTLAND and therefore, have to adjust our pricing accordingly.

Due to the extreme heat across the United States, we are not shipping perishables, chocolate, or chocolate covered cookies at this time. We will hold your order until the temperature in your area has cooled during the day to below 90 degrees to ensure that your perishable items will not be sitting in a hot UPS truck for two days before delivery to you.
If you need your order immediately or for a special date we are offering an upgrade to UPS Next Day Air for just $15. If you would like to upgrade to UPS Next Day Air, please call or message us.
If your order contained non-perishable items as well that you would like us to send ahead please call or message us to make arrangements.
