Inexpensive Kilts question (Where to find)

[Panache]

If the standard length (24") works for you, you will not get a better deal on a new wool kilt than the Stillwater Heavyweight (especially the new and improved model). I have 4 of them (3 old models and one new) and they will last and look good far beyond the acrylic models and are well worth the extra money.

If you need a specific tartan or need a custom fit for your body type then USA Kilts' PV models is the way to go.

I second that. The caveat is that you need to have a reasonably trim body form for it to "work". If you are extremely thin, it'll probably be just fine. If you are very overweight, it's not going to fit terribly well and a kilt made to your measurements will look better. However, on the right body, they look pretty darned good for the price.

I'll need to double check my measurements, I'm quite tall and have a pretty big around the navel heh. I did notice however that one of the heavy;s I was looking at only had the option of buying in my measured size so maybe it's fine.

There are a number of cheap kilt vendors, e.g.: Stillwater, SportKilt, KiltMart, Tartanista (on eBay only) and I would have said Frugal Corner, but that last seems not to be trading.

You can also find kilts directly from Pakistan on eBay, which is where a lot of the cheap ones come from anyway, although it costs $30 to have a kilt sent from Pakistan to the US.

A lot of people on here will turn their noses up at these suggestions.

drpestilence,

Why don't you stop into the shop. I'll pour us a cup of coffee and we can chat about this for a while.

I don't mind pointing you to other sources and other vendors at all. The idea is to get you into the kilt you want and need.
