Who has the best bargain on a tank?

Another option is the weavers... You can get a handsewn in say a Marton Mills Jura 16oz and come cheaper than a Lochcarron Strome 16oz.. Or you can shop the bargain bins and buy your own tartan and send it to a kiltmaker, for another option...

There are many ways to save your money on a handsewn tank... It just takes a little research, and patience..

I just ordered a tank from Wallace Catanach, State College, PA. If you go to waterfallkilts.com, you can see his work. Also, he has been reviewed on XMTS...all positive comments.

Wally ordered my special weave, MacDonagh tartan, in December and, to my surprise, the material arrived at his place last weekend. The material comes from one of the best: D.C. Dalgliesh. Wally's price is very reasonable for a hand stitched tank. I will not quote my price because that has to come from him, depending on what you want, yards needed, special weave, etc. Please do check him out!!!

I would like to mention, and recommend to you, another kiltmaker who makes handsewn traditional knife-pleated kilts: Bonnie Heather Greene (Bonnie Heather on this Forum).

Forrestermodern has posted a review of her work, and I will be posting one in the very near future.

For boxpleats, give Matt Newsome a call.
