At first I was thinking only of getting a UK but after checking out this site and others, my heart is almost entirely set on getting a tartan. If Bear is out of the question for now, who's the recommendation for a tartan? USA?
I think any company worth ordering a tartan kilt from will have a waitlist. Still water may be an option, but I like the looka nd feel of Poly Viscose better.

In the mean time, check out Scottish stores to see if they have any old rentals for sale. Here's one option for great traditional wool kilts http://www.burnetts-struth.com/sale.html#MensKilts or http://www.scottishclansman.com/Readymade.html
