from Chicago. There are some great companies in the kilt business here. I, personally, have had a great experience with Stillwater Kilts. There are also some great custom kiltmakers on this forum - Barb T (look up her memberhip and send her a private message), Kathy Lare - www.kathyskilts.com, and Matt Newsome - http://www.scottishtartans.org/. I've seen their work and it is flawless.
