| I just went there and it looks like your store is not open yet... I got a document titled "This page is a place holder for your future web site" When you are indeed up and running I hope to be one of your first customers! |

| Hey Looks like you are up and running - Happy Father's Day! Very nice sporran page. It is a good beginning. Only one question - where are the pics of the kilts? You might do well to post the various tartan patterns on a bland page (tartan on tartan is a bit much on the eyes), but I dinna see any examples of the types of kilts you are selling. Are they the little kilts, the great kilts, the cargo kilts? You should tell what type they are, and be very descriptive in your words, then perhaps post a pic of the kilt to go with it. Just as not all sporrans are alike, neither are all kilts alike. But all in all, you have a very nice beginning to what I hope will be a long and prosperous future of Online Retailing! |

Well, I have to admit, Brettzky that, just for once, this Scotswoman is dumbfounded.............  What are 'Celtic kilts'? What are side sporrans? |

Celtic Kilts are OUR way of getting the Irish, Scots, Welsh, Vikings, etc. to join in with an excuse! Side Sporran is shaped like a sporran, but it clips onto jeans or belt loops, and is merely a fanny pack without the belt. Right now, they're being manufactured in blue denim and gray camoflauge... manly materials?! The one that I took to the pub went over WILDLY. It wound up being a holder for smokes, darts and spare change. They're definately NOT to be worn with a kilt! They will be on the site as soon as we have plenty, and the pictures are posted. All ordering is through PayPal right now... so that everything is secure. I guess we hired us a "cashier" for the store. |

| Good luck with the website! I remember how excited we were when we got our first e-mail to our site and then our first sale. It took a while before things got moving but four years later, I resigned from my job. I've been working from home full time for almost two years now. However, my wife did force me to move my workshop out of the kitchen and down to the basement. |

| The site looks great!!! Will have to save a wee bit of money. ( he says knowingly... wink, wink, knudge, knudge) Love photo of the guy jumping w/ guitar... LOL! Cheers |

| The jumping guy is none other than Seamus Kennedy. You can hear him perform The Old Dun Cow about 80 times a day on Highlander Radio. That's even higher when Gaelic Bread is logged on. |

| Brett and GB: Get some more tartans! Enlarge your stock of tartans!! We need more tartans!!! For everyone else: These guys are wonderful and helpful and have gone out of their way to find my clan's tartan since they don't carry it. They also have the best prices on kilts I have yet to find online. Give them your business!! They deserve your business!!! |

| Truly kind words MacRae! We HAVE indeed listed all available tartans NOW. In fact, for those who wish to see if they might have a family tartan (or in the case of MacRae where there's about 17) you can see what it looks like! If we were to carry all tartans, my name would have to be Bill Gates to afford them all! Hit the "Kilts" page, scroll down to the Tartan Man to search for yours. Our complete line of tartans is on the "Kilts" page, and is divided into the three materials. We now list around 30-something patterns. |
