Kilts for the (really) big men.

[Cassidy]

The "Celtic Crippler" gimmick is going over great at the fed I wrestle for- so well in fact that my promoter wants in on it. He wants to tag me with an old friend of mine, put us both in kilts, and manage us- himself in a kilt. This doesn't bother me in the least, but I am a tad concerned as to where exactly he'll find an inexpensive kilt for wrestling wear. See, he's a big guy- last I heard he floats around the 450 pound mark. He wears the weight pretty well, but most places aren't exactly going to carry his size.

USAKilts has a price listed for their casual kilts for size 56" and above- but I wonder just how "above" you can go while sticking to that price. So far, that's the best option I know to give him. A handmade 700 dollar custom kilt is a bit out of the question for financial reasons, as well as the fact that he needs it pretty soon and won't want to be wearing a treasure like that in places where it'll almost certainly get beat all to heck and have various iffy substances splattered on it.

For myself and my partner, we may stick to Sportkilts or Stillwaters, as both have served me very well- but from all the good things I've heard about Rocky and USAKilts, we may go that route too. Depends on how much he's willing to spend, as we'd probably get matching tartans.

Any suggestions or experience in this matter? He needs a first time wearer's kilt, essentially- a sportkilt, Stillwater, or USA casual sort of thing. Who should I direct him towards?
