Any of the kiltmakers here can have this woven and made for you. However, your goal of having it by Christmas might be a bit too optimistic. That's only two months away!

When given a choice, most people will choose.

Honestly this forum abounds with amazing kilt makers; two that DO order custom weaves and 8yd kilts are Barb T, and paulhenry. I'm sure there are others as well.

I missed that bit. That is optimistic indeed.

I can vouch for the EXCELLENT work of Paul Henry, who was recommended by Artificer in the post above. He made my last tank, the whole "experience" was wonderful and the kilt couldn't be better. As you are in Germany, he's closer than almost all of the other kiltmakers that are members of this forum and could do this for you. You won't go wrong if you go by Paul. Excellent work, excellent communication, in fact excellent everything!

Any kiltmaker who does business with DC Dalgliesh can get this custom weave done for you. Paul Henry does have an excellent reputation here, although it's also worth mentioning Lady Chrystel who lives in France. http://www.lady-chrystel-kilts.com/

I also have a kilt made by Lady Chrystel, and she wouldn't be amongst those that I recommended anyone to use for a project like this. I'll not go into the reasons here on this open forum, but I wasn't "over the moon" with the kilt that she made for me, as I was with the kilt that Paul Henry worked his magic on. The kilt Paul made for me has rapidly become my favourite kilt.

Hi folks,
thanks for your advices so far . I'm in touch with the first kiltmaker to make an offer.
Just to clarify: Even if the kilt will be my christmas present (for myself) , it is not necessary to have it on Dez 24th. Even Feb/Mar 2013 would be fine.

That's generally true, but I'm more than happy to help source that sort of thing out. If the OP is still interested, please email me and I can help.

As it appears that you designed several different versions of the tartan on Scotweb's tartan design online device I believe you may need to talk to Nick Fiddes at Scotweb about having the tartan woven, as my memory makes me think that there are some restrictions about who can weave the stuff designed on their website. Nice thing is that DC Dalgleish is now in house for Scotweb so not really a problem. But Scotweb does offer their Balmoral 8yd kilt made up in your tartan for $530 I believe, which is only $10 more than the cost of custom woven 8 yards of 16oz single width tartan by them.
I have one Balmoral built scotweb kilt that is quite well made and without obvious flaws or deficiencies, and Nick and the folks at Scotweb are pretty good people to work with.
