Why Chose Shilling & Fitz as your Pipe Band Tailors

Our years of Pipe Band experience (both playing in and tailoring for) means we understand how important staying within your budget is. We can work closely with your QM to ensure that you maximise your uniform inventory and save money wherever possible.  We offer tailoring parades to assess the current uniforms and measure new members for kit. This can be done at your place of practice.  For larger orders, we can negotiate with the weavers, purchase and hold a full piece of your band tartan, barathea or tweed on your behalf then as your nominated tailors make kilts and jackets as and when required, passing on further savings to the band.  Everything from Hats to Spats can be ordered and made here.  We are the nominated tailors for The Atholl Highlanders, Perth & District and City of Discovery Pipe Bands.
