I ordered 2 Kilts for my sons and received excellent customer service from Korey. She walked me through the best options for the size, weight, and traditional options. The Kilts arrived in the time frame that was quoted and the craftsmanship by the Kilt Makers, Rachel and Sarah, was exceptional! They are beautiful! I highly recommend them.

I came in to GN Kilt Hire the day before a wedding last weekend...The staff were naturally surprised I had left it so late... but were so kind and patient. Especially Morgan who found me a kilt in a certain football team's official tartan that went down an absolute storm with the wedding guests.
Would enthusiastically recommend GN for kilt hireJames

Having been invited to a wedding last minute, Gordon was incredibly helpful over the phone telling me that they’d be able to sort me out hours before the vows - upon arriving Ellie served me, was very helpful, friendly and knowledgeable and not 20 mins later I was out with a beautiful full outfit which I absolutely rocked all day and night.
...Would highly recommend and will be using them again.Malcolm
