I brought my family’s heirloom kilt in for alterations and was amazed at the result. The team managed to resize it perfectly without losing any of its traditional detailing. It feels comfortable, looks authentic, and I can proudly wear it again for special occasions in London. Absolutely first-class service! Douglas M., Kensington 20 July 2024
I needed my kilt adjusted urgently before a wedding. The alteration was done with incredible precision — the pleats were kept neat, and the fit was spot on. They really respected the craftsmanship of the garment. Highly recommend their kilt tailoring service. Andrew S., Hampstead 7 June 2025
My kilt needed the waist taken in and the length slightly adjusted. The results were outstanding — it fits me better than ever, yet still looks completely traditional. Friendly staff, professional work, and great attention to detail. Calum R., Islington 12 May 2023
