And Bear's CORRECT redirections goes double for me.

You're talking about some SERIOUS material, and need a serious kiltmaker. Kathy was my very first notion for the job as she is classically trained. Angus, here in eastern Pennsylvania is real good too, but takes about six months to do the job since he's THAT good and THAT busy.

MacIsaac Kiltmakers was the second choice too. I know four guys with their kilts, and they're BEAUTIFUL... that's the kilts not the guys.

Linda Clifford is in Maine, and makes the kilts for the Loch Rannoch Pipe Band. I would suggest contacting her too, to see about your needs.

Anything else would be a risk with that material. You're talking about a serious investment in the tartan, and you need a serious kiltmaker to handle the task. Also, the taper on this kilt will need to be precise due to your husband's "girth". If it's just sewn together... the pleats will pucker, the apron-tips will point out, and the hang will be awkward.
