What should we have to accept when buying a custom made kilt?

Hi Jock, you're correct to a point....proximity to the kilt maker, for a good fitting, is most desirable. The thread does NOT show one of an improper fit, it shows one of an improper build/construction.

Many Xmembers have had kilts made without a fitting, but still receive a quality product. I have two wonderfully made kilts, one from a well known US kilt maker, and I never had a fitting, but still ended up with a wonderful product.

Just my .02 cents.

Absolutely, I could not agree with you more! The fit, the quality of work etc are all parts of the end product and when all said and done some hard earned cash is going to change hands at the end.

It would be very wrong to mention names, but it is to the great credit of the skilled kilt makers who do make kilts from a distance who have extremely happy and satisfied customers and all credit should be given to them.
