At Great Scot they have a simple goal; to create the finest quality clothing, and by doing so create great jobs, retain traditional skills and help restore economic prosperity in our local community. The company has an appetite to re-establish and celebrate the town of Keith’s other historically significant export to the world - fine cloth. In the past 2 years, they have moved their headquarters to Isla Bank Mills in Keith to the site of one of Scotland's most famous weaving mills, Kynoch Cloth. They lament it’s not just the whisky that Speyside was known for! Every garment that bears its elegant label is made from the highest quality, sustainably sourced, natural materials. Every style is made here in Scotland in one of their 5 partner tailoring factories. They are passionate about sourcing all their fabrics from local familyowned mills and are in constant collaborations which keep looms busy year-round. Clearly, their clothing is expertly tailored and designed to last generations. There is nothing ordinary about this local brand. Their mantra reveals their upbeat love for what they do and for their customers; ‘We make beautiful styles for wonderful people.’ Their international cult following is equally devoted to their love of heritage, slow fashion, and Scottish manufacturing. This is a brand with a big heart, boundless energy, and yards of style. And so, sharp dressers with a penchant for tweed and tartan flock from as nearby
as Banff, Aberdeenshire, and as far afield as Banff, Alberta. They love being able to choose any style from their unique vintageinspired collection and have it made to their measurements in the rarest and finest of cloths. Now with their newly launched Kilt Rental Program, the focus is on ensuring that not only is the outfit locally produced and of the highest quality but that the outfit complies with the correct regimental and sartorial standards for the intended event. No more ‘looking like a rental’. You’ll look like you've had yours made to measure. More than this, they can be booked and paid for online and shipped and collected from anywhere in the United Kingdom. This is a company equipped for the digital age but very much rooted in standards and styles from a bygone era.
