Welcome from down the road a piece --- Little Rock.

I am not sure this will answer your request for information, but the Frugal Corner, according to their website, has Keith tartan kilts in approximately 8 yds of 16 oz woven acrylic fiber in sizes 34, 38, 40, 44, and 48, with a 24 inch length, straps and buckles, fringed apron, and traditional selvage on bottom edge for $95.

I don't have any kilts from them but there are several members here who do and they can better advise you as to the quality of their Frugal Corner kilts.

Thanks for the Frugal Corner tip!

from the wooded highlands of north central Tennessee!
I have one professionally hand-made top quality 16oz 8yd wool "registered tartan" kilt. All my others are 8yd DIYs: one blue denim, two heavy upholstery weight cotton tartan-plaid, and one light weight and one medium weight wool tartan-plaid. The DIY kilts are all made from material I found on sale at various yardage stores (when my wife was shopping for something else). I don't know (and don't care) if the tartans are "registered;" I bought them because I liked them and because they were cheap (never paid more than $10.00/yd for any of them). The nice thing about the cotton ones is that I can just throw them in the wash when they need cleaning as those are the ones I wear most often (working around the house and on the farm, hiking etc.) while I keep the wool ones for more "dressy" situations. Bottom line: it is possible to make your own for reasonably little cost and have several for different occasions. Just keep an eye out for potentially suitable (no pun intended) materials!

Greetings Clansman! I am originally from Memphis and I have family In Corning Arkansas. I have had very few dark looks wearing a kilt here in Maine, but one old man at the VA Hospital did glare at me as if I were the very incarnation of the devil. I smiled at him very nicely at put an extra swagger in my walk LOL
