Macwage, I was not trying to be too strong. I just was not sure of your intent. One problem you might run into is that most kilt makers are ordering tartan in larger quantities than I would expect an individual could handle for just one kilt. I know that some of the posts have referenced multiple 10's of meters for an order. Fairly costly, and you would have quite a bit left over, unless you wanted 8 kilts in the same tartan. Might work if your weight fluctuates drastically!

I think that LochCarron might have some smaller leftovers as well, but don't have the link off hand. The Celtic Croft, see link at top of the page, right hand side, also weaves their own tartan and they offer it for sell in managable quantities.

Also, Matt can get single kilt quantities in almost any tartan, maybe you can work something with him.

Good luck!
