I'm going to second Rocky's post.

We need a good quality 16 oz. P/V fabric. We need this in a range of at least 50 if not 100 Tartans.

That said it is up to us, the kilt wearers and buyers to drive the market to the point where the weaving mills and the support companies like jacket makers, leather workers, hose makers can survive.

The Kilt itself is evolving and constantly being improved. We are in a period of renaissance in kilt wearing that has not been seen for over 200 years. With the work Rocky and others have done we are in no threat of stagnating innovation and development.

The primary reason that it would seem like the kilt and the accessories have stopped evolving is because in today's world, if you are in the kilt business you are either big and make hundreds or you go broke.

We are in desperate need of customers who will be willing to ask their kiltmaker for the innovation and development that will cause any change. In the Western world weaving mills are closing due to lack of sales. There are currently less than ten kilt jacket manufacturers and less than ten hose makers makers in the UK.
