Dear Consumer,
When you select J.
Higgins
Ltd., for your Highland dress you are selecting a company that actually tailors
your clothing. We make the kilts, jackets, hose and other clothing
accessories. This gives us complete quality
control in crafting your Highland attire . All of our
tartans and woolens are imported from Scotland. We use authentic tartans
in 100% wool. We use our own patterns for your jackets and our staff
of kiltmakers has been trained in the art of Scottish kiltmaking.
We have about 30 individuals who make their living servicing our customers
and we make thousands of garments every year. We've been doing this
since 1983 and, thankfully, count numerous pipe bands, clan societies, military
institutions, schools and individuals, such as yourself, as our valued
customers.
Now, a note on prices: What you see is what you
will pay! A lot of companies advertising on the internet have a
disclaimer saying their charges will be in British pounds Sterling and might
vary from what their website state. PLEASE read our note on our home page
about ordering from companies outside of America to learn more about that
process.
Now, a note on customs duties: Our prices
include all import duties because we have paid these when your materials
arrived before they were made into your garment. You will not have any
hidden fees assessed. If you order from companies located outside of
America you will be subject to duties which can add 30 to 40% to your product
total.
We say these things to you for two reasons:
-
Ordering internationally in different currencies can be
confusing. We want you to know that we value your patronage and that you're
getting the best value for your money by paying the actual tailors, and
not a middleman, for your Highland attire.
-
We want you to make an informed decision regarding the
company you choose. Not a week goes by where we don't receive a call
from someone who ordered from a company overseas only to learn that they had to
pay customs duties to the postman which ran an additional 30 to 40% above the
cost of their garments.
With the advent of the Internet you now have
many choices. We want you to make an informed decision.
Thank you for your time.
John
Higgins
