'Men in Kilts' and some very nice Suits
From the production team of STARZ who brought us all Outlander, comes ‘Men in Kilts”, a travelogue staring Sam Heughan and Graham McTavish in their funny exploits discovering the real Scotland. We were fortunate enough to be asked to take part in the series as we were certainly around when the Jacobites marched up the Royal Mile to take the city. Screened last weekend in: the USA, Canada and New Zealand, but we are however, still waiting to see the final cut.
Not only were we asked to be one of the stop off points for Sam and graham to visit, but we were lucky enough to be asked to supply garments for them to wear on their ‘Grand Tour”. It was a complete pleasure to meet and dress them both, quite different and certainly more gentlemanly and polished than their rough and rugged on-screen personas.
We have seen a sneaky peak online, and we are pleased to say they managed to shoot all our best angles. Seeing Sam in a three piece grey herringbone tweed suit we could see why he is in the running for the next James Bond! Haste ye back!
Tracing its trading heritage back to around 1720. Located in the New Town of Edinburgh, we have serviced generations of the distinguished gentry of Scotland’s Capital and beyond. Supplying the likes of the The High Constables of Holyroodhouse, the Royal Company of Archers, the Moderators of the Church of Scotland and many family estates to name but a few. And always growing. After four generations in the same family, a new era has dawned under careful and respectful new ownership for the next generation.
As you can imagine, we have had an extremely busy and exciting week since, thanks to the show and of course, to our dapperly dressed chaps, we have had so many requests on tailoring, and we do aim to get back to everyone individually, thanks for all your kind support.
