If it were only the yardage. Custom kilts are made to measure. Then you have to design the kilt with the sett that the tartan is weaved. The design is not over yet until you get to each pleat where you need to make sure each pleat tapers from the waist to the hips and not lose any elements.
Each kilt is a custom design from the dimensions of the wearer, material, sett, etc. Each kilt is engineered to take all the variables to create a wearable garment.
THAT is what we all strive for...
