to the rabble from Sunny Southern California. If you are looking for a kilt maker, we have several who are members of this forum, you don't need to go any further!

Thank you all so much for your comments, opinions, and your warm welcome. This will be my first kilt and I am really looking forward to the experience.

What I want is a full blown Prince Charlie outfit. I must impress at an upcoming Christmas gala. i will contact the folks mentioned, and again, thank you all!!

from St. Louis!

My personal experience with Jerry from Stillwaterkilts has been amazing! I can't say anything good or bad about anyone else, but Jerry ships super-fast (either he uses alien technology or he's invented the transporter and he's not telling us) and his prices are reasonable for the quality. I have 2 thrifty kilts from him, and I had them in my hands 2 days after the order was placed.

If you want to see if being kilted is right for you, go with a thrifty from Stillwater. It's under $30 and you'll have it before next weekend!

(Sorry if I sound like a commercial for SWK)

I have ordered 2 kilts from Matt, at the Scottish tartans museum. He also has great service, good prices, and good quality.

Welcome aboard from sunny Arizona, you have come to the right place to ask kilt questions. Stay away from the Gold brothers, use one of the custom kilt makers here or go with one of the advertisers. I personally own a standard from Stillwater kilts and absolutely love it.

Again folks thanks for the wonderful advice and for all of the warm welcomes. Ihave order a kilt & PC jacket from Matt @ Scottish Tartans (over the phone) and do agree that he seamed very knowledgable and helpful. Iwill let all know how it goes and post a photo. Thanks again!!

WELCOME from Flint, Michigan! Looking forward to seeing your new kilt and Prince Charlie!

But I did order from "Heritage of Scotland" a view months ago, (and Via Ebay & Paypal) one of their package deals, and was perfectly satisfied - a Kilt & Flyplaid with hose. I might have been lucky as Ebay & Paypal take a dim view of screwing up, so probably got priority from them. (Maybe that's the safest way to deal with them?) Quite heavy, great for winter, but slightly scratchy, pleats are immortal!

Glad to see you got everything ordered. I did order my Prince Charlie from Heritage of Scotland when I was fairly new to kilting. I must say that what I recieved was as described and it got to Canada in a timely fashion. However given their recent business practices I think you did well to stay away from them. Matt will not steer you wrong, good choice and
