Afternoon all.

I'm looking to buy a kilt (lots of wedding coming up). I'm Scottish based in London at the moment (well I'm sitting at my folks in Loch Lomond at this second).

I've literally spent days trying to work everything out but have decided asking on here could help me out, as it's a bit of an information overload at the moment.

This will likely be the only kilt I'll ever buy (unless I pile on the pounds in later years) and I'm looking to spend around £200.

kathyskilts looks great but having it sent over seems a bit excessive. Does anyone know of a reasonably priced UK based kiltmakers I could get a good quality kilt from? Or I'd consider having it imported if it was still working out as a good deal.

I've also been looking on ebay but the problem is as a wee lad of 5' 5" getting the length (prob about 22.5") right is tricky on ready mades.

My other measurements are approximately-
waist - 32.5"
hips - 37"

With ex-military I reckon I'd be 164/80/96, so I was considering this too. So WPG might be the lads to use, but as I'm really only going to wear it for special occasions that might not be the best, (in case it got 'wooly' looking).

Sorry for waffling on, I just want to make sure I get it right, and there seems to be a lot of people on these boards that know what they're talking about.


All the best.
