..not so much about tartan so I post it here.
I inquired about getting a kilt made in the new Aust. National Tartan and was told they have a good local kiltmaker.....13oz 8 yard would cost $870 (think Canadian dollars)!!

Heck, I could get a leather kilt cheaper!
I'll be looking around for another kiltmaker to make it I think, I'd never pay that for a kilt.
