n00b question...
Ok...
I'm a n00b when it comes to kilts, although I already own 2 beautiful kilts.
A heavyweight Black Isle and since last Saturday a heavyweight Great Scott.
My best GF accompanied me everytime we went for measuring or just a cup of coffee or when the kilts were delivered.
I'll tell you all my adventures later but what is most important is the fact that she wants her own regimental kilt....
Yes, I can hear you all screaming, but that's what she REALLY wants....
So we asked the owner of the shop and his wife where I bought my kilts ( he is having them made in Scotland of course ! ) if they could fulfill her wishes.
She wants to have a Black Isle in medium weight but at least 4 or 5 inches longer then our kilts.
After a few weeks we got a simple message that is was not possible.
No reason or excuses were given, just that it was not possible.
The owner's wife ( she is from Scotland ) tried to explain that it was technically not possible, the wanted lenght for such a kilt could not be fabricated out of the choosen tartan, or whatever...
Now...
Suppose that you are 2 meters and 10 centimeters ( 6 feet 9" ) long and you badly want a kilt.
No doubt one can be made, no matter what the lenght of the kilt is going to be.
So her wish for a somewhat longer regimental kilt is not at all unreasonable, I think.
The total lenght of the kilt should be between 75 (29.5") and 80 centimeters ( 31.5").
Any suggestions if this is at all feasible, any suggestions about kiltmakers, (maybe their are a few in this forum) any advise is more then welcome.
TIA
