    I've also heard that estate sales are a great way to get items like this. Good luck!

    Mine was made by The Bombay Company who appear to be based in canada.

    Price new about $250, but available on craigslist (or no doubt your local equivalent) for about $50

    I just use the Order of the Gael kilt hanger and hang the kilted hanger from a door hook.

    Door knob is working great for me, too. I have a 4-hook over-the-back-of-the-door hanger available, but it is in another room and inconvenient

    For years, in the days when I was wearing a suit every day, I used one that had an integrated trouser press. It was great for my suits, kept a razor-sharp crease in my trousers, but I don't really see the usefulness of any such device for hanging a kilt. I use the system described elsewhere on these forums by Steve Ashton, i.e. two inexpensive hangers with clips for each kilt.
