I just made a kilt from Marton Mills 16 oz tartan. It is very nice stuff. The selvedge isn't as good as most of the Lochcarron tartan I've used, but it's perfectly acceptable (I'm being picky). They price their tartan very reasonably and have a nice range of tartan, many of which others don't carry.
DC Dalgliesh is the only mill of which I am aware who will weave a single kilt length on a custom basis. I've had them do this many times, and the tartan is wonderful. It's also not as expensive as you'd think, given the labor, but it is more than Marton Mills charges for their in-stock tartan.
I just finished a US Air Force tartan kilt for my daughter, and it was a Dalgliesh custom weave. I'll get her to put it on, and I'll take a photo.
