The important thing is to deal with somone you can trust and who has a good reputation in the business, I bought my latest kilt from Matt Newsome because I wanted to properly measured for it. I knew it would take 8 to 12 weeks to get the kilt, it's being made by Lochcarron and should arrive in the next few weeks. I have purchased quite a few items from the museum and never been disapointed with the service or the finished product.

Some of the hidden fees you encounter when ordering a kilt from Scotland can be a surprise. The price of the kilt will be adjusted for the dollar/pound exchange rate on the day it is shipped. You can also be charged customs fees and currency exchange fees. I would rather let a middleman who knows the business handle the kiltmaking and importation process for me. It will save you a few headaches.
