    DALE.
    I got my SWK hemmed for $15. She did complain a bit that it was quite a job with all those pleats, but she does all of my kilts. She's doing three SKs for me right now, sewing the pleats down, hemming, and belt loops. I get the remnants back to make flashes.

    Soccordale,

    I don't think anyone asked . . .

    Do you have any clan ties (if so, which ones)?

    Do you want a "universal" tartan (if so, what color pallet)?

    Many tartans have the basic colors of red, blue, and/or green. A few have others. Do you want a common tartan (like black watch or royal stewart-> VERY different pallets) or an uncommon one (like Scotland National) or one that used to be very common, but is now not as much (like Caledonia-> seen on me in the Hartwell pics, a mix of red, blue, green with black, white, and yellow).

    In short, pick one YOU like, but know what it is and what it means.

    I hear many, many good things about USA Kilts, and he is a pleasure to work with. For th buck, I'd go for them.
