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.

We ask only that you dress to impress — and wear with pride.

Came over from New Zealand for a wedding and the staff at 8yards made the hire process super easy! The flexibility to also return the hire to a closer shop than where I picked it up from was also super convenient! Would use 8yards again 100%
Last minute kilt sock problem solved
My son had hired me a kilt outfit for his wedding from another large kilt hire company. However the kilt socks supplied with the hire were poor quality and way too small for my extra large calves. I panicked and searched the internet. Then I found and phoned 8 Yards Kilts 2 minutes after they opened and a very helpful assistant called Hollie checked stock for me and even measured the socks and let me know that they had a pair in stock in the correct colour and would put them aside for me. 15 minutes later I had the socks purchased and was on my way home. VERY RELIEVED. A great place and thank you especially to Hollie who literally saved the day. Old fashioned great service.
Nae fuss, nae bother
Nae fuss, nae bother, in true Scottish tradition- just a kilt that was perfect for the job.

Great outfit and service
Eight Yards is the best!
We had a great experience with Eight Yards for our wedding. From start to finish, their team was friendly, knowledgeable, and incredibly helpful. They made the entire process easy.
The kilts looked absolutely amazing, and the quality was outstanding. We received so many compliments from our guests—people were genuinely impressed by how sharp and well put-together everything looked. It really added something special to the atmosphere of the day and our guests loved them, especially as most of the guests were from the U.S.
Eight Yards helped us feel confident, comfortable, and proud to wear traditional Highlandwear, and we couldn’t be happier with how it all turned out. If you're looking for top-notch kilts and a team that truly knows their craft, we’d definitely recommend Eight Yards!

Was an issue with my order but it was resolved very quickly , very happy with my purchase
Excellent service
Hired a kilt & Prince Charlie jacket/waistcoat for a wedding. Delighted with the quality of the garments and the level of service at the Haymarket shop. I tried another kilt hire business in Edinburgh before going to 8 Yards, but 8 Yards were by far the more professional business. If you're fairly serious about getting decent kilt gear then give this place a try.

A staff member of yours noted that I had picked the wrong colours for the kilt/tie etc. She sent me recommendations and rebooked my order which was really helpful and appriciated. When I went to pick it up there was a mistale on my order and it was booked on the wrong day, possibly by me. The guy in the shop in Musselburgh was super helpful, solution focused and went above and beyond to organise the kilt that day to make sure I had it for the wedding on Saturday. Would definetly use you again because of that guy. He was great.
Good but hard to cancel (unsurprisingly)
Cancelling Subscription can only be done over the phone, 20 minute wait time to eventually speak to someone who negotiates like Putin.
Easy to order,good price
Easy to order,good price, kept up to date with delivery date.
Awesome Kilts
Eight Yards kilts are extremely high quality and made to the highest standards. I will always trust them to deliver a product that will be completed wherever I go.
