Scottish kilt maker
Hi, I have been bottling this up for long enough and have just got to tell someone! After intensive searching on the net, I came up with what I considered a good deal. It is on Scottishkilts.net
The offer an eight-yard, 14 oz. woolen, machine-made in Glasgow kilt for $311.75. The website is well done, very professional and all that. This model of kilt comes only in selection of tartans which are specified. Here's where the "fun" comes in. When you select a tartan for this $311.75 kilt, there is no way to view the tartan prior to buying. You can go on their tartan-finder which is very good, but there is no method by which to cross-reference to the selection of tartans. And of course we should all know that the clans have so many patterns and variations. This is kid's stuff that no one is going to buy a kilt when they do not know what tartan pattern they are getting. I told this to a certain David MacSweeney at Scottish Kilts he said that if I was to give him a general description of my color preferences, he would send me appropriate scans. This he did after some delay, adding that he would gladly send more if I liked. I asked for another couple. I haven't heard a word since despite my repeated emails! What do you folks make of this? Go on the site and check it out; tell me what you think. I would be very interested to know if any of you have done any business with this firm already. Thanks,- Alan

Yup, I bought a casual in MacNeil of Barra Ancient from them. I'm pretty well satisfied.

Yeah I am sure that they do deliver good quality and I would still buy from them if I could. It's just getting there that is the problem. Glad that you were satisfied Bubba. - Alan

i also ordered a few digital swatches, but haven īt got right now one sole pic. and must be 2 weeks ago when i ordered them.
but i ve made the experience that many of the kilt selling shops have a comfortable way in making their business ;) what is not a main problem for me as a viennese, cuase poeple say we got also a comfortable life style
but i think when its this kilt, it is a 15. oz:
