G'day all, I was looking through the phone book and dicovered a dancewear shop that specialises in scottish dancing stuff. Best thing is, its a half hour drive away from where I live. I rang the lady and had a chat with her and she can make me a kilt the way I want it out of either wool or poly/vis, I cant beleive it!
When i get the chance will go over and see her.
Good thing is I can get fitted for it personally and for around the same price as i can get from the states.
She makes either solid or tartan kilts and makes them as the traditional cut, but will have a look at making one hang from where my jeans/ shorts do. She also insists that leather kilt straps are the only way to go and dont actually add that much to the price of the kilt.
Will keep you all posted as how it goes.
Cheers Andrew
