question for custom kiltmakers
I am interested in getting a custom hand made kilt in the Dutch Friendship Tartan in order to honor my wife and her family, who are of pure Dutch American heritage. The tartan is only available online from their own specific website in Dutch , but I have gathered that they have 10, 13, and 16 oz weights in double width at 140cm with a kilting selvedge and a sett of a wee bit over 5 inches if I remember correctly. My questions is, is this width fabric wide enough to be able to make my custom 46 waist-48hips-26 length kilt if I buy 4 meters for an 8yd kilt? How much more should I buy if I want to have a fly plaid made as well? And can any of the custom kiltmakers get the fabric any cheaper that it is listed for on the website, or would I be better off just ordering it myself and sending it off to you to have it made up and just pay the building fee? To order the kilt directly from the website in 16 oz would cost over $800 plus shipping and customs.
