Surplus kilts: Being in Kent I'd just ring up a few of the militaria dealers in greater London to see what they have--- or can get (they seem pretty well networked). Squaddiekit.com in Colchester had (probably still has) a large number of Gordon kilts. I know a few places on the Continent with a good supply but with near EURO GBP parity (and postage) they are really only interesting to Continental Europeans given the high cost of mailing anything over 2 kg out of the UK (a Gordon Kilt would cost about 28-35 GBP to send by Parceforce by the cheapest means depending upon the destination in Europe).

Current makers: beyond all the suitable military tailors--- greater London is filled with them--- and kiltmakers there is, of course, the "current" Army contract holder: Argyll Bagpipes & Kilts Ltd in Alexandria (West Dunbartonshire). Despite the folklore, Army tailors can alter Army pattern kilts for a better fit should it be called for (smaller as well as bit larger).
