About us…
Situated in the heart of the Scottish Highlands, in the beautiful village of Lairg, we are a small family run independent business set up in 1995, not a ltd. company or owned by share holders! Just a husband and wife team who love what we do.
Our atmospheric high street store has become very much a destination store, with customers coming from all over the world. We love chatting with all the varied and interesting people that come and visit us.
We specialise in the hand tailoring of garments in Scottish tweeds as well as British tweeds - we offer the highest quality made to measure tailoring service at a very affordable price.
Our stock levels within our high street store are always expanding. This has resulted in the retail side of the business becoming as strong as our tailoring service. You will find tweed clothing of all kinds, as well as an incredible selection of hats, waterproofs, shirts, capes, bags, gloves, socks, ties, scarves, gifts, the list goes on… we are sure you will find that quality item you are looking for.
Along with our high street store we have been developing our online store. This is constantly being developed as we try to offer a great selection of high quality items that can be posted worldwide.
Our worldwide customer base is something we are very proud of. Over the years we have made a point of letting our customers speak for us. Many of these customers have become friends, so we very much look forward to welcoming you. If you would like to read some our customers comments please click HERE.
Our name and our shop has been referred to as:
“A hidden tweed treasure in the Scottish Highlands”
which is lovely, as we have put our hearts and souls into our business.

Important Notice About Our Opening Times
We are a small independent business, run and owned by a husband and wife team, with no other staff, yes it's just the two of us! Which means we cannot always answer the phone when you call if we have customers in store, so please just leave a message or email us.
We also can't work 7 days a week, 365 days year! So, please be understanding when we have a day off, or aren't open our usual times. We will always put a notice on our website, Facebook and amend our google opening hours to let you know when this happens.
TAILORING
IF YOU ARE VISITING US FOR THIS SERVICE
PLEASE MAKE AN APPOINTMENT
As we can't always provide this service for drop ins when we are busy in store.
New to our online store are some fabulous belts in various colours in leather dress, casual and countryman styles. We also have some elastic web belts in a range of colours, if you haven’t tried these before, goodness you are missing out on comfort!!! Of course they are also available in our High Street Store on Lairg Main Street.
We have added some of our fabulous baseball caps to our online store, all hand made for us here in the UK. We also tried something a bit different with some patchwork baseball caps. Click here to have a look… Of course they are also available in our high street store.
It has taken a bit of working out, but our online store is now set up to be able to ship VAT FREE to our many customers who purchase from outside the UK. This is due to Brexit and there being no reciprocating tax deals in place.
The good news is it means that you will now only have to pay the tax in your own country, making shopping with us as it was prior to Brexit.
