    Check out the Economy kilts at Celtic Croft. You can get it in the Macgregor Modern tartan.

    You could also check out the clear out racks at http://www.burnetts-struth.com/sale_items.asp and http://www.scottishclansman.com/Readymade.html both of which have had MacGregors from time to time.

    Hey Ron,

    SportKilts aren't THAT bad, IF you go for the sewn down pleats and custom length.

    Kirkwood,

    Please keep us up to date on your search. A kilt in MacGregor tartan is a dream of mine. I keep running into little roadblocks. Truck dies, kids need shoes, food needs bought.....

    The Economy kilt at Celtic Croft seems to be what I'm looking for.
    Can anyone tell me about the homespun wool they use for them? Also, they say that they're not tailor made but then ask for your waist, hips, and length. Since this kilt falls under the special order category, do they make it to your measurements?

    Homespun is substantially courser weave than regular kilt fabric, has a somewhat rough texture.

    I got one in Black Watch for my first kilt. As Bubba said, it's more coarse that regular kilting cloth, but still nice, and definitely a good price. They're not tailor made, but they want your measurements so they can get a reasonable fit.
