I have an 8-yard "Balmoral" model made by Scotweb. I like it very much. Our resident legend Hamish (95 kilts +/- and counting) is also a satisfied customer. If Scotweb has the Hamish Seal of Approval, you can order with assurance.

There is also the Welsh Tartan Centre if you are near Swansea...

But Scotweb are fine, have had two kilts from them plus some other stuff and you get discount and points too!

Yes, the Welsh Tartan Centre is where I first saw the Walters Tartan and its sourced from the Welsh Woolen Mills...

However, the web-site of Welsh Tartan.....is well.....awful. To put it bluntly, and I have to admit their prices are about £100 more for each item than the Scottish equivalent. I spoke with them on the phone yesterday and asked why that was....there was no real answer....except that they try to be competetive. I did order a swatch of the cloth though...so I am looking forward to see what it looks like in the flesh!!!

Are Welsh Tartan good at making kilts though????

The 8 yard St Davids cilt I had from there was excellent Martin.

If you go for the 5 yard casual the pleats tend not to be very deep and feels very lightweight - so would not recommend less than the 8 yard.

They are cheaper for some things than Scotweb, the dress ysgrepan for example.
