I'm with Turpin.

If you have a rare tartan you want you'll probably save a LOT of money by going through a kiltmaker like Barb T or Kathy Lare. They can find the tartan for you - if its out there - and get it ordered in for you.

Not sure how Barb does her payments but Kathy works off a down paymemt with balance on completion which makes the financial strain a bit less.

And for a rare tartan don't forget to get the flashes made with the kilt.
