I take you're in some way involved with Flamingo Kilts then! Well, I feel silly! Never mind. Amerikilts are freakin' awesome- I'm wearing one of mine right now, as a matter of fact. And yes, you can supply your own material. Except tartan. They refuse to make kilts from tartan, which sucks because I would love to have a tartan AK. Oh well- such is life.

Freedom Kilts have done camo, though I'm not current with them.
AVOID Sportkilt.
Enjoy the hunting!
That's why I buy Amerikilt, and avoid Utilikilts. Utilikilts are almost double the cost of Amerikilts, and quality is easily comparable. UK have a fat tax- the fatter you are, the more they charge. AK does not.
And Sportkilt... Where do I start? My wife's skirts are beautiful, but my skirt from them is something I never wear- because I wear kilts, and my SportKilt is a skirt. If you want a camo skirt for your wife, go for it. My wife has a SportKilt camo skirt. But for you and your son? As Finn said... "AVOID Sportkilt!"

Flamingo says right on their website that they are not taking orders.
Freedom Kilt - are way nice. Nicer than what you (or I) are looking for right now.
Celtic Warrior gets recommended a lot, but they haven't responded to e-mails or phone calls for months.
Alpha Kilts haven't returned my e-mails, I've been trying for over a week, now.
Amerikilts - I desperately want one of their Olive kilts, just like Nighthawk's - I have been e-mailing and calling them for over 2 weeks now, with my credit card out in my hand. Does anyone know if they are still there?
Alt.kilt - Jeanie is alive and well and taking orders, and does really nice work. Unfortunately Her basic kilt saw a 20% price increase this morning, but for what you get it's still a deal.
OK, I blew off a little steam, I feel better now............
Have Fun,

Their junk mail filter is hard to get around. Try a new email address.

You mean their filter might think my incoming mail is junk mail?
I thought about taking this "off the grid" and asking in a PM, but if I'm wrong about Amerikilts, Mike deserves to have it made right "in public".
Thanks,
Tom

Yep!! I had that problem last time I bought from them. I also had it with Celtic Croft...

I know, I know, quoting yourself is the definition of arrogance. But I felt the need to follow up in this thread by reporting that Amerikilts has been on Easter vacation. They are back, and they have my size/color in stock! Woo Hoo!
