Good evening,

I am in Edinburgh visiting from Scotland hoping to purchase my first kilt. I know what a bespoke kilt costs but as I do not have that kind of money decided to go economic; still 100% wool, but economic. I decided against this as I wanted to stick to a traditional kilt.

I went to Geoffrey tailor to see what was available off the peg but they did not have my tartan.

On my way back to my hotel I came across Christopher Ross; Klassic Kilts near St. James Shopping Centre which do bespoke and for hire kilts. They had one in my size, in my tartan. It is I lighter weight. The material is woven by Locharron. The lady who helped me told me these were hand made in Scotland. It was 160 pounds so it had me wondering about it. It is almost 6 yards.

I got the feeling this was a non-toursit type shop as it was quite small and had a dozen off the peg kilts.

Can anyone offer me any advice?

PS: Some of the stitching had come undone and the lady told me she would have one of the kilt makers fix it and make sure everything was good as new.
