I had it in mind to buy myself a fair isle jumper (in the U.S. we'd call it a pullover sweater)…read moreduring our trip to Scotland. I did some online research before we left home and learned that to be considered authentic, one of the requirements is that it be fashioned from Shetland wool, as opposed to cashmere, merino, or lambs wool. I found a very useful thread on Reddit that listed several reputable shops in Edinburgh (our base of operations while in Scotland), including this warning: "Whatever you do, don't go into any of the tat shops." Of course, then I had to ask Google what a "tat shop" was. In the United States, my guess would have been a tattoo parlor, but that didn't make sense. A "tat shop" is a souvenir store. I made some phone calls when we got to Edinburgh. Many stores in the UK are closed on either Monday/Tuesday or Tuesday/Wednesday, so that narrowed our choices. Other stores had no fair isle jumpers in stock. Still, I was undeterred and kept calling around. After only two or three calls, I reached Dicks Edinburgh and was told that they did have exactly what I was seeking. A few hours later, after we had toured Edinburgh Castle, we hopped into a cab and went straight there. My husband and I were the only customers, and the entire staff (two women and a man) were collectively attentive to us. It took me only a few minutes to decide on the perfect jumper. It was a lovely experience from start to finish. Dicks Edinburgh is clearly a quality clothing store, and I would not hesitate to shop there again.

This store stocks a huge amount of suits in every colour imaginable. As well as some other smart clothes, like your tweed coat yah. The service was fantastic, there are few shops which offer such a high standard of service. The shop assistant was very polite and listened to what my dad was looking for and came up with a tonne of options. He gave advice and was really helpful. We settled on the second suit my Dad tried, and the best thing is they alter for free! This was the Monday and the guy said we could pick up the altered suit on Saturday. As my Dad doesn't live in Edinburgh I said I would pick it up but it would be two weeks later as I was going on holiday on Saturday. Not a problem, he organised the suit to be ready for the Wednesday. My brothers picked up their suits from another branch of Slaters and they were just as good.

Prices range from under £100 to £200+ so it depends how flush you're feeling I guess. You don't have to go all out and buy a suit or kilt you can also hire them if you don't really need them all that much, just don't get carried away with the red wine.

On the ground floor, there is a selection of tartan, shortbread, tablet and whiskey to choose from. Just the standard souvenir shop. Ok moving on. On the first floor is more tartan and a seamstress, which is a little more interesting but what lies on the next floor is my favourite part of the whole shop. On the second floor is the (in)famous Sir Walter Scott Tea Room, which feels like a proper Scottish tea shop, even though it's a department store cafe. I had slice of red velvet cake and a glass of Irn Bru and felt like a true Scotsman, even though I'm Northern Irish. The only things wrong with the tea room is that it's up 5 flights of steep steps, is quite pricey and the toilets are up more steep steps. If you want to be a true Scot, I suggest you come here and visit the tea shop, avoiding all the stereotypes along the way.

Ordering was a breeze and I was thankful they still carried it. What amazed me the most is how fast the shipping was to Canada! No unexpected costs as others have mentioned. The cape is stunning and very good quality. Just as I remembered it. Now that autumn is upon us, I have already worn it a couple of times. I am VERY happy with my purchase.
