    Another option might be Stillwater's Thrifty kilt. Just under $30 each. I just ordered 2 from Jerry to use as door prizes at a non-kilt related function and the total with shipping was around $65 (had them in hand two days after I placed the order). You will spend at least half that much buying the material to make two.

    For me to make them (and it be worth the investment) it would cost at least $50 in supplies, if I could find something that would work. The two places you suggested I will pass along to him. Thanks.

    The problem is essecially the space back stage and the possibility of a quick change. They dont' have room to pleat a great kilt, and they only have like 5 minutes to change outfits. From what the script says, it would be more of a 'modern' plaid kilt.
