Thanks so much for leaving this review, we hope you love your pieces!
Elegant at its finest. ELEGANT AT ITS FINEST
The quality of the lovely long Mull sweater I purchased is top notch and the woven Celtic design in a contrasting color on the borders enhances the entire sweater for me.

I used to buy your products at Celt Iberia, but they retired and there isn't another store in the area. Loved your wraps and Shawls. Very pleased with this sweater. Easy to order and shipped very quickly.
Thanks

Delighted - a beautiful piece of knitwear
My wife loves the Eske Kintyre Jumper. Fit is as described and looks even better on than in the photos. The wool is soft and it has a really nice mottle to it. Service was great with the jumper being despatched and received well in-time for Christmas. It is always nice to find true artisans producing really high quality products. Delighted

So pleased to hear your Christmas gifts went down well with the lucky recipients! Thank you for thinking of us for your present shopping!
Great gift, fast shipping
Cause I missed it to buy one during my stay in Edinburgh, I had to order one of the handmade Brooches as a Christmas-gift for a good friend. The shipping to Germany was fast, the present arrived fast and on time, and it looks absolutely great!

I bought a beautiful “Kyle” while in the Edinburgh store for 349 pounds and found the same jacket on the website for 207.50 pounds.
What is up with that? I tried to email Bill Baber who sold me my sweater but couldn’t find a direct email. I really don’t want this review to go all over the web if they can make this problem right. W. Burke

Unprompted review
Reply from Bill Baber Knitwear
Thank you for reaching out and apologies that you were not able to find our email address to contact us directly. It is linked on the Contact Us page on our website but we will check if we are able to make it more prominent at all.
I wonder if the piece you are referring to on our website is our Skye Jacket? While this may look similar to the Kyle Jacket you purchased in Edinburgh, they are in fact different garments. Our Grassmarket Workshop stocks our boutique collection which cannot be found online and are exclusive to that location, and our Kyle Jacket is one of those pieces. Kyle is made from a different material than Skye and features hand made pockets which are created and sewn in by hand. Bill and Helen hand stitch the pockets themselves in store which adds a premium price to the Kyle Jacket. We do not offer products with pockets on our website due to this higher cost and the limited number of garments that can be created in this way.
Please also note that all prices viewed online from outside of the UK do not include the 20% UK VAT charge that is paid in store by law, and also do not include the 10% reciprocal charges recently added to deliveries from the UK to the USA which is calculated at checkout. Please see this page for more details www.billbaber.com/usa-duty/
We would be very happy to continue discussing this with you directly. We could look over photos of your Kyle Jacket to ensure that it is the premium boutique product sold in store rather than the Skye Jacket that we sell online. If there has been a labelling error and the garment you have purchased is not a Kyle Jacket then we will of course arrange a refund with our apologies. Please do contact us via info@billbaber.com

The sweater is exactly the colours of the picture and fits well. It came so much faster than I thought it would so and happy to be wearing it on cool evenings already.

A great experience all round
The jacket was a very nice, well designed and made, product. My wife will feel super chic wearing it. The personal touch added by Bill and his family at no extra charge all added to the feeling of being a valued customer and not just an order number.
