The wool is from Locharron, and I believe it is a 16 ounce fabric. The tag says "Wallace Collection", so i am unsure as to the actual kiltmaker. I bought this from John at ministryoftartan.com. Cost, w/ matching flashes and shipping from Scotland to the US was under 300 pounds, and it arrived in less than a week. John advertised it as gently used, but when it arrived it still had basting stitches in. I doubt that it had ever been tried on,let alone worn, as there were absolutley no marks on the straps. I know that at one time there was concern about John's website, but I can tell you that my dealings w/ Jhn were 100% aboveboard and John was a true gentleman to deal with. It is even more attractive in real life than the pictures show.
