I will first qualify my post with the statement that I have never personally ordered from this site, but since they specialize in servicing pipe bands I think it would be reasonable to assume they probably would make a decent kilt. The second caveat is that they do not specifically describe the manufacture or style of their kilts, but I would say again it is a good betthey make traditional 8 yard kilts, albeit probably machine sewn, considering the price. Probably worth at least a look at the web site and maybe a friendly inquiring email to get more info. But they list a long string of 13oz tartans, including some pretty rare ones, all for the same price in a kilt at 170GBP or $238us plus shipping. Give them a look---it might work out for you. I could think of a few I might like to order, but right now am already overstocked with fabric waiting to be built into works of art, and my wife would have a cow if I ordered more kilts right now.
