    Recommended Kiltmakers Please !

    Please help ! I'm getting married in February and need to have a kilt made. I'm at a loss to know which Kiltmaker to use. Most of the ones on the internet seem impressive.

    At the moment I'm edging towards Goffrey kilts of Edinburgh mainly because their quality looks good and also because they habe a monthly fitting service in London which is close to where I'm based at this time. Does anyone have any views - good or bad - on this company please?.

    Also what weight would you suggest ? Will be wearing the complete Evening formal ensemble.

    Many thanks and king regards,

    Craig.

    Hi, and congratulations on your impending nuptuals!!

    Where Highland wear is concerned, you really cannot go wrong with Geoffrey. Excellent service, and excellent product. I also like Kinloch Anderson for the same reasons.

    Where kilt weight is concerned, consider this discussion:

    Congratulations Craigyboy,

    If it helps with the weight, the kilt I have on order from Kathys Kilts (probably not an option for you since she's in New Mexico USA) will be 11 ounce.

    While the weight was determined by the availability of the tartan I wanted, since I live in Arizona where its pretty hot in the summer 11 oz seemed like a good idea for me.

    Does your lady have a single sister who'd like to visit the "old west?"

    Craigboy,

    I am in the same sort of situation. I thought I had made up my mind, then I found this forum! You will be very happy to wear a kilt to your wedding. My wife and I couldn't find/get one in time for our wedding, and boy do we regret it...

    I had it narrowed down to the following for a traditional kilt:

    j. higgins
    alexis malcolm

    Now I have to include

    the kilt store
    hector russell
    kathy lare

    I think what its going to come down to at this point is the nearest delivery date.

    Most of the prices of the above-mentioned are fairly close, so that is not as big a factor.

    Good Luck and Congratulations!
