From Autumn 2017 The Kilt Store and Kilt Hire Co will be known as Eight Yards. We will describe ourselves as providers of Scottish Menswear. To do this we need to set ourselves apart from the more throwaway, lesser quality offers that now crowd our market. And we need to continue to attract new, loyal customers across generations. Having lifelong customers is really important for keeping our business strong. We already value the craft that goes into the menswear we sell and we work hard to make sure that our style and range is modern and relevant. Our new name and brand builds on these great qualities, allowing us to extend beyond kilt hire, to communicate more of our personality, the range we offer and the value of the service we provide. The descriptor Scottish Menswear. Explains what we do and includes our core business of Kilt sales and hire, without excluding the rest of our range. We are Eight Yards. We have created Eight Yards for men of all ages who appreciate quality, tradition and craft. Like us, our customers refuse to be stuck in the past. Instead we choose to wear modern Scottish menswear with timeless, sartorial style. L I FELONG CUSTOMERS For reputation and longevity CRAF T For quality and timeless value.

Never again
Ordered & paid for a Harris Tweed bag. Money taken, confirmation email received.
I thought great gift sorted. Then I receive an email advising that the website should not have allowed the sale to go through.
I was advised no alternative however days following the bag is still available to buy again

Very nice tie
Very nice tie, made in Scotland and delivered promptly. The business is actually relatively local to me, though I didn't realise that when I ordered, and I do like to support local businesses.

The collar is really good
The collar is really good, especially the Harris Tweed. The downside to the collar is the first two of the eyelets have come off.
To be fair, Oscar does try to pull your arm off, so perhaps this was going to happen.

Brilliant kilt hire
We were recommended Eight Yards for kilt hire for a wedding. The staff were fantastic on the phone prior to ordering and when we went to pick up the hire. The kilts and whole outfit were beautiful quality - we received many admiring comments on how lovely the outfits were. Really impressed with everything and would definitely recommend to others. Thank you Eight Yards Edinburgh

Was treated really well by the team at Musselburgh and welcomed as a valued customer. Kevin is extremely knowledgeable and it's why I am a regular returning customer. Have hired, purchased an outfit and latterly a new kilt. Wouldn't go anywhere else.
