I've ordered Doublets from them for years. This time, it took weeks to arrive. The quality was okay, but not what I expected, and sizing felt off. Hoping for better consistency next time.

Communication was good and the sales associate was helpful, but delivery still took around two weeks. The kilt was nice and reasonably priced. Might order again, but fully impressed.
