Buying a Kilt :D

[artificer]

There is a thread called 10 looks with one kilt, it shows two different men showing various levels of formality wearing one kilt.

Blast! I knew there was another thread I wanted to link to.
Here it is for your convenience Colin. Jamie and Glen do a wonderful job of illustrating various levels of formality, each with their own twist.

I have seen that thread before I think I'll update this topic once I've somewhat finalized a list of products so I can hear some criticism if anyone feels like lending it

Hi Colin,

This is just MY HUMBLE opinion so take it as such:

In my quest to become kilted I decided to go with a mill direct from Scotland to have my kilts made. I dealt with Strathmore Woollens. There is a gentlement there named Joseph Brown, (he goes by Jo.). He will take care of all your needs for a 13 or 16 oz. handmade, 100% worsted wool, knife pleated kilt. They either have your tartan in stock or they can get it.

Great people to deal with and shipped to my door in the Western US from Scotland I received 2 kilts for about 1000.00 dollars. Thats shipped and tailored to me! I urge you to e-mail strathmore woollens and give Jo a shout.

Here again, just my humble opinion of buying direct from a mill in Scotland. Yes you may have to wait a little longer and you will have about a 60.00 charge for customs but to me it was well worth it. I now have 2 kilts, 1 MacLean of Duart Modern and 1 MacLean of Duart Hunting Modern that I will wear with pride for a lifetime.

Congrats on he opportunity to be kilted!!!
