    I probably shouldn't even post as I'm only echoing what others have said....but I will anyway.

    I have not had dealings with Ms. Malcom but I plan to. I've never heard anything but good about her.

    I had Alexis build a U.S. Army kilt for my son-in-law for his wedding to my daughter. Alexis was absolutely awesome and everything came in better and sooner than promised. I highly recommend her.

    I'm just finishing an Air Force tartan kilt for my daughter, who is commissioning in the US Air Force next weekend. I had the tartan custom woven by D. C. Dalgliesh, and the tartan is gorgeous (16 oz). I've also ordered a custom Air Force sporran/belt/kilt pin set from Caledonia Fine Arts.I'll post a pic when it's all together.

    I had made her a kilt several years ago in Stathmore's light weight US Air Force tartan, and it is _not_ an adequate kilt. So, I would definitely ask what tartan Alexis Malcolm would make your kilt from. If it's the Strathmore light weight, I'd give it a miss, quite frankly!

    When I ordered my Army tartan kilt from Alexis, I was given the choice of 13 or 16 oz. I ordered the 16 oz. because I wanted a good heavyweight kilt.

    The Army is readily available like that. But, the USAF tartan is only made in 11 oz., unless you find a mill to special weave it heavier as a custom job.

    And it's a mystery why Strathmore weaves it only in a weight that's too light for a man's kilt.
