Yes, it was Lochcarron. The tartan (Munster Province) is only available from Lochcarron and only in the lighter Reiver weight. I actually ordered it from Highland XPress thinking it was American made which turned out to be an unwarranted assumption on my part. The cut and stitching were up to par, but the belt loops were ridiculously far from where they should have been. When I tried to put it on, I found that the straps had been placed wrong, too, and the waist size was too tight by 2 or 3 inches. I ended up sending it back to the very nice Mary Beth at HXP to get the straps moved in and she even replaced one of the original straps with an extra long one. The thing that really burned me up was the pleating. My first kilt was a handsewn, 3-1/4 yards of 10 oz. with a 42-in waist and 19-in length: 27 pleats and still fits with room to grow, on purpose. My second Pakistani-made kilt was 4 yards of 13 oz. with a 44-in waist and 19-in length: 30 pleats but further out the strap than it should be. My third, the machine-sewn Lochcarron, was 4 yards of 10 oz. with a 44-in waist and 19-in length: 19 pleats and just wearable with the alterations but with little or no room to grow. The fabric is noticeably thinner than that of my first 10 oz. kilt woven 15 years before. My strong suspicion is that they skimped on the material, basically "chiseling", thinking it wouldn't be noticed or just not caring. Because my Pakistani kilt is more "expendable" and more comfortable, I only wear my Munster kilt to formal occasions or appropriate Irish occasions. My 2nd kilt was meant to be my "working" kilt at the Highland Games but it's become my kilt of choice for when I do wear a kilt and my Lochcarron sits in the closet just looking beautiful.
