    THIS is a GREAT example of why you guys need to hit the kiltmaking sites and do some SERIOUS browsing.

    You can get a WOOL kilt in a very nice cut for under $150. I know where it's at.

    You MAY just find something interesting out there. If we need to update a "kilt companies" links area, I have 15 in North America that are as diverse as the programming on French television.

    kilts...

    There are actually a couple of Norwegian tartans that commemorate a battle fought between Norwegians & Scots mercenaries -- I'd have to look the name up at home in the reference library.

    Jimmy -- what would I do?

    A Canadian or Clan tartan (or maybe even saffron) PV 8-yd kilt from Bear, of course! I am very much impressed with what I have seen so far on his web site.

    Cheers!

    This is kinda cool as this was about exactly where i was when i came to this board.

    I would go with a USA kilt.one of the reasons i say this is that the turn around time is great.
    I would go with a tartan for my 1st kilt I feel that a tartan kilt is easier to get into kilt wearing and if it is Tartan it is less tramatic because people tend to know of Plad=Scotish
    No plad=skirt. but if people know you for wearing a kilt then 4 months later you show up in a utilikilt/Victory/Amerikilt/ other solid they would think that guy wears kilts that must be some kind of solid kilt.
    Maybe i am just a little odd in my thinking but that is how I think.

    If time was not a concern humm that would be hard a toss up between Bear and USAkilt maybe, I would search Ebay and look for a used kilt.

    Okay Jimmy, I'll bite. Trust me, I've done some serious browsing, and I haven't found this $150 kilt you mention. So, come on, give a brother a break and let me in on the secret.
