First off, one can wear any tartan they like unless it is protected by a copyright, of which there are very few. There are some Malcolm and McCallum types that visit this forum fairly regularly. You should look at the Scottish Tartan Authority's website. Use the tartan ferret with both surnames to see all the possible tartan options, then check out some of the vendors here. You may find that the tartan of your dreams (like mine) cost about 53 Sterling/Metre. With four to five metres needed to properly make a traditional knife pleated kilt of double width material for most gentlemen, this can get expensive, before the kiltmaker even starts sewing. In the kiltmaker's threads on the D.I.Y., you will find a lot of information on what goes into making the kilt. Also posting there are some kiltmakers, with Matt Newsome, and Barbara Tewksbury having great reputations for the work that they do. There are several others on the board that are sewing kilts. Wallace Catanach (ChattanCat) just finished an Isle of Skye that looks great on him. (sorry Wally if I butchered your surname)
