Wow, so many answers and in such a short time! I think what I've learned on and off list is that variation in tartans: good. Variations in types of kilts (i.e. mixing Utilikilts with great kilts): bad. Since I'll be building all the kilts for the wedding party, that's not a big issue, cuase I'm not developing 6 designs.

I'll promise to post pics after the wedding (but that is 8 months away).

Thanks all (and any more advise or suggestions will continue to be welcome!)

Cheers
Chris
