BTW there are a load of ex-hire kilts in a black-on-black tartan, nice 16oz handmade kilts, up on Ebay right now.

Seller is unknown to me, but they appear to be doing something right (9,000 positive feedback). Takes PayPal. Ebay store link TARTAN4LESS.

You may get lucky and find your size there, but like many sources the hip measurement is not stated: probably a standard/average ratio similar to Stillwater.

I have a green Stillwater green shadow tartan and I quite like it. The stock size is a bit too long for me, so I had it hemmed by an inch and a half. The wool is a bit softer than worsted and is quite comfortable. The colour is quite rich and the shadow tartan pattern only shows up in direct sunlight. It doesn't get quite as much wear as my true tartan kilts but it's great for Irish events.

Some of these pics have been posted on the forum before but I'll post them again just for good measure.

The kilt was a xmas present and this was the first time I wore it. December in Vancouver with no snow!
