I've two of Wally's make, both eight yard knife pleated in medium weight wool tartan. I have never been to see him, and they both fit very well. I am well pleased with both of them.

I would love to go in person to see the kilt maker. But living in the cornpatch as I do, that is not a simple thing. However, it is not really necessary, so long as you understand they way they (the kilt maker of choice) want you to do the measuring. Good luck, and it is a happy day when a new hand sewn kilt arrives.
