What Price Glory: Where Do They Get Their Tartan From?

[Alexander Good]

Hi All,

I was curious if anyone knew where What Price Glory got their
tartan from, that is used to make up their kilts? I'd really like to
purchase some yardage, and simply can't afford to get it from
Scotland.

Thanks All,


Alex

Hi, Alex!

Now to show my ignorance.....

"What Price Glory" is a book, then a movie..... Is it also a musical or singing or dance group?

I believe his kilts are made in Pakistan as is much of his reproductions. What Price Glory well worth the perusing.

Hi Brian,

I should of expected to find you here. :^) Hope all's well. Yeah, it
stunk missing Culloden, but it sucked more that my dog/best friend
died. It just goes to show that you never know what's going to happen.

I'm trying to find another source, cheaper, for repro Government sett
wool for my Rev War Highland unit. $70-$100 a yard is absolutely
unacceptable for anything but a once-in-a-lifetime wool kilt purchase.
As much as I hate the thought of ordering tartan from anywhere but
Scotland, the only way it can be justified for hobby/reenacting purposes
is ordering from Pakistan. Maybe in the next year the government will
decide to pay off the debt and reverse the slide of the dollar, but somehow
I doubt that's going to happen.

Anyway, What Price Glory is a company that sells repro WWI and WWII
stuff, much of it made in Pakistan. Would be nice to know their source
so I can see about getting something done in a period shade and pattern.

Take care,

Alex

I don't have one of their kilts but a friend from college had one of their Black Watch kilts. If it is a Pakistan made product, I'm impressed. It was a very nice kilt.

Actually, I was under the impression that their tartan materials were from Australia and that the kilts were constructed in California. I could be wrong.

I know nothing about these people, other than that they sent me an email when they thought I had a kilt-selling business, but Sider International is a Pakistani company who manufactures kilts and associated items. It might be worth dropping them an email and asking for a sample of cloth from them.

For government sett kilts try Stillwater Kilts. Pakistani made but decent quality and availiable in acrylic and wool. Or try ebay.
