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.

8 yard Kilt hire
Great service from Hollie at Hardengreen. She was friendly and knowledgeable in helping me choose the right outfit. I was very pleased with the quality of the outfit and couldn’t fault the service.

I have bought the ex-hire kilt
I have bought the ex-hire kilt - it looks like the new one, presise hand work, for me = 6 stars!
Just one recommendation for next customers - do not measure the waist too tight, I have to use the last notch in the buckle.
I wish you all the very best - Stanislav Predota (Prague, Czech Republic)

Excellent service & Product
I bought my youngest sons full made to measure kilt outfit for his 21st from eight yards.
I bought my eldest sons kilt from a different, smaller outfitters.
The eight yards shop, at Haymarket, Edinburgh ‘smashed it’.
The eight yards shop were slightly more expensive but….the service and quality was far superior.
You get what you pay for!
I have returned recently to purchase a new, made to measure, kilt jacket/waistcoat for my eldest son, who will wear it at his wedding in July.
The jacket/waistcoat is spectacular with tartan, as per his kilt, on the top of his pockets etc.
Of particular note is Katy who possesses a lot of patience and is ‘well clued’ up on Scottish/Highland wear.
Katy assisted us, greatly and deserves praise.

The product has been a godsend for being able to roll up my class work for transport to and from class. Also I know I’ll be able to use it in the future when I am traveling to piping events and want to have my kilt look fresh and not creased from sitting while driving my car.

Happy Chappy
Had a great experience at 8yards Eskbank. was needing a jacket to go with my kilt and was really wanting to buy One. it was a green tweed one which was hard to come by but my luck was in and they found one upstairs unfortunately it was to big but was not a problem to 8yards as they altered it and got it back to me within a week and was a perfect fit. Great customer service Thank you

OUTSTANDING
OUTSTANDING! That's the only word which can describe our experience with 8 Yards kilt rental service/Haymarket (particularly Graeme Findlay, but including the whole team). We just had a large, international wedding in Scotland, with 23+ kilt rentals (including 2 kids), and A LOT of people who had never worn a kilt before. But also many Scottish people who knew what to do....
8 yards were professional, responsive, very reasonably priced, and offered friendly and experienced advice throughout. They take such pride in their work - and saved us an enormous amount of hassle by following up on the many measurements (many which were incorrect), and even offering an on the day fitting service! They anticipated our needs (offered help before we realised we needed it) and even delivered and collected the kilts.
The rental options were very clear on the website, and their tartans/outfits both traditional, but some bespoke, modern and gorgeous.
We have lived in Edinburgh for a long time, and had occasion to rent/buy kilts/trews etc many times. We will never go anywhere else now!

Very nice gloves…
Originally looking for brown leather gloves as a stocking filler but couldn't get any I liked, fortunately the wife had just bought a tweed jacket so when I saw the tweed gloves it was a no brainer, and they look even nicer in person
