Where can I find a kilt maker that does Box Pleats?
Well Id like to get a 4yd-ish Box Pleat Kilt...That won't take me 6 months to get. Can anyone recommend a kilt maker that is reasonable and will get it to me in 6-7 weeks?
Thanks in advance!
Cheers,
Bill

John at Keltoi (see above) can get you what you want but it won't be 6-7 weeks. His current waiting list, according to his web site, is 15 weeks.
I have one and it is a quality product.

Any number of Xmarks kilt makers can do a box pleat, but I think most of them are booked out significantly farther than 6 weeks.
Also, what did you have in mind for "reasonable"? Four yards of wool tartan is still going to run you a chunk of money
and then you can expect to pay somewhere between $200-300 to have the kilt actually made.

Bill,
Do you need it for a specific upcoming event? We all know the longing feeling while waiting for a kilt to be made. Around here we refer to it as the "jones". In the scheme of things, 6 months is not a long time.

I'm a dedicated fan of John's. Keltoi's a great bet and I have one of his box pleats and a knife pleat on order, but most good kiltmakers can do a boxpleat.
You didn't say if you wanted a military box or an historical one. That's pretty important too. Over to the Great Rabble.

Ask John; shop about. A famous member here keeps saying you can have any two of quality, price and service. Good luck and keep us up to date.

Give him a couple of days; he's slow on e-mail.
