Welcome from a fellow Pagan.

You asked for advice. Find a kiltmaker you can deal directly with rather than a middleman. Middlemen are fine for accessories, but dealing directly with a kiltmaker will help insure your kilt fits and arrives in plenty of time for the wedding. Too many tales of grief on these boards about wedding kilts ordered through middlemen.

By kiltmaker I mean the person who will actually be sewing the kilt, not someone who will find an unknown kiltmaker for you. Best if they have their name (i.e. reputation) on the kilt. You'll also save a few bucks without having to pay the middleman. Use the savings on your honeymoon.

i have been looking at scotweb but then realized it could be several hundred dollars in customs charges so that kinda put an end to that lead. so right now my plans are kinda to go with usak and order one of their premier packages with the argyl jacket and vest so i have that for my wedding. not a bad price and my money will stay here in the states. eventually down the road ill order an authentic kilt from Scotland

i dont own a kilt but like i said above im wearing one in my wedding come

or high water.
