I hired a full outfit for my daughters Wedding last year from the Glasgow shop with the Wedding in Aberdeen. On the morning of the Wedding I was getting dressed and noticed the Jacket had several frayed holes in the seams which were quite noticeable when worn. With two hours to go before the Ceremony I had to rush to your Aberdeen shop to pick up a replacement.

I ordered a couple of items online for…

I ordered a couple of items online for a 50th birthday. Ordered them on the Wednesday night and paid first class postage to ensure they were here for the following Tuesday (birthday day). When they hadn’t advised they had been dispatched and nothing arrived by the Monday I called up and was told that the Aberdeen branch was waiting on the items arriving from Glasgow and the person on the phone was quite dismissive. I had not received any update today they were waiting for the transfer or anything. I feel very let down as the items are not likely to appear today for the actual birthday! Almost a week after ordering them and paying the extra for first class delivery.

Great knowledge and service

Great service, knowledgeable advice and really helpful styling suggestions when buying a full kilt outfit and faced with their huge choice of accessories. Couldn’t have been better and would not hesitate to recommend.

Shocking standard of goods and service

We rented 5 kilt sets I. summer 2023. These are supposed to be checked prior to issue to customer. I work away so I picked mine up last minute.

In the day of the wedding the groom was getting ready and the shoe laces snapped.

I who was the best man had to give him my shoes luckily the same size and I had to try and tie the laces together and bodge them up at least for the photos.

When we returned them and highlighted this the blame was put on us, the customer that we hadn’t checked the stuff.

I accept they weren’t checked but to put the blame on the customer is wrong and clearly a lack of quality control in McCalls.

In return we were offered a 20% discount on next rental! CLEARLY WE WILL NEVER RENT FROM THERE AGAIN!

The attitude of the lady at the desk in Broughty Ferry shop was shocking!

Terrible service.

I hired my kilt from McCalls

I hired my kilt from McCalls for my son's wedding, and everything went exactly as described. The kilt was there on time, all parts were in place, and they were flexible on pick and drop-off times. Would recommend

great service and helpful staff

We came from Australia to be married in Elgin and my fiancé hired his suit jacket and accessories from McCalls in Elgin. The staff were super helpful getting the correct size and even when we arrived to pick it up on the morning of the wedding the checked it fit and got him a better size. We were leaving early the next morning so they organised to collect the hire from our hotel for us. Great service all round and good looking gear too. :)

My kilt buying experience

Bought a made to measure kilt from McCalls. The price was very competitive. They had the tartan that I wanted as well as a full range of accessories. Raymond the fitter was a lovely , friendly chap and guided me through the whole process. The kilt was delivered within the timescale given. I hired a jacket and waistcoat to complete the out fit and McCalls were happy to mix and match sizes to suit what I needed. All in all a very pleasant , stress free experience from start to finish.

Excellent kilt, average accessories

The kilt itself is really great and comfortable. The package was sent very fast and delivered with no problem. The drawback would be that flashes and hose are of lesser quality than what I get from other tailors.
