Absolutely outstanding

I've hired through Ken at Houstons a few times and always had a 1st class experience. On this occasion I had left it last minute to find a replacement (ex hire) jacket and waistcoat for my own kilt. Unfortunately Ken didn't have exactly what I wanted but did have an alternative I thought would be OK.
A bus, ferry and train later and I was there but unfortunately the alternative just wasn't right for me. Determined to see me happy the staff found a different jacket which they altered to fit within an hour and matched with a waistcoat taken from current hire stock. With a more suitable pair of complimentary socks and suit carrier I left absolutely over the moon with exactly the replacements I had initially been looking for.
Thank you all so much, such friendly determination to customer satisfaction is rare these days.

A Relic

I've never visited, but I hope I could. I have a kilt from this store that was made 50+ years ago. My grandma gave it to me when she passed away and I've been wearing it for a couple years. It is really worn out and old but I love it nevertheless.

I moved to Ireland and brought it with me. Now that I live nearer to the UK I was hoping to go to the store but unfortunately it is now closed.

Is there any way I can contact someone from the company? I'm still eager to visit; I feel it'sthe right thing to do. 💕

Never use Alex Scott and Company in…

Never use Alex Scott and Company in Aberdeen. During a visit to Scotland in 2007 I went in, got custom fitted, I'm a large lad, and ordered it. $1200. Not only didn't I get the kilt, but they blew me off for a refund since they don't give refunds because of ordering the tartan but I couldn't even get them to send me the tartan. Pure rip off for the American guy.

Well Dave. Your wish finally came true.

Alex Scott ceased trading some time ago causing many staff to lose their jobs and a business that has been in Aberdeen since 1925 to close its doors.

Thank you for your review and continued attacks on the company.

You can finally get your 12 years of anger resolved.

Hope you have a good Christmas.

Great customer service

Very good, prompt service and they called me for clarification to confirm exactly what I would be happy with when there had to be a slight change to the order.

Absolutely perfect.

After discovering that my maternal ancestors were from Glasgow I ordered a set of cufflinks with the Clark tartan on them for my daughters wedding. They are absolutely perfect. They look good and are beautifully made. They arrived in a very nice presentation box.
Not only do they look nice, but they are a reminder that my mum and my uncle will be with on the day

Happy Aussie

Happy Aussie
I ordered from Australia and received the package in two weeks. The quality is very good, and you pay a premium for that. However, I wanted items personalised to my clan and was prepared to pay extra.
