I will chime in and echo the sentiments already stated. That is, use a kiltmaker here in the states. More and more, I am hesitant to purchase items from overseas... not for the quality, but for the sheer hassle, time and expense of shipping.

There are a score of excellent kiltmakers here, many of whom have a presence on this forum.

Off the top of my head - there is Matt (for the box pleat), Barb T, Alexis Malcolm, Kathy Lare, Linda Clifford... You cant forget Rocky..... J. Higgins, The Kiltmakers Apprentice... and many more.... check out the kiltmaker directory Hank set up to get an idea of how many there are in the U.S. and N. America.

This list is by no means complete, and I hope I didn't offend anyone, omissions are not intentional

Anyway, my nearly worthless advice is just to buy here at home. You can get the same quality as one made in Scotland, maybe better... It all depends upon who makes your kilt, and not necessarily the store it comes from.
