Alright, here is the situation. I need a purple colored kilt. It is for my sisters wedding, and not only does it match with her chosen theme, but some of the ones I have seen just look too good not to have. I am in a bit of a situation though. Ideally I would like an 8 yard 16oz kilt. The material itself is not too much of a problem, woven acrylic is better because of the price, but I’m not tied to that. I have narrowed my search down to three places

Frugal Corner
Scotsweb
USAKilts

They all have some things going for them, and some things that don’t work so well for me. Perhaps you call can help me decide.

Frugal Corner: 16oz 8y Masonic Tartan
Pro: Sells Masonic Tartan Pattern, which so far is my favorite
Pro: Cost is the best out of all three
Pro: Wedding is in 2 months and I would have it by then
Pro: Could spend savings on other needed items ( jacket and shirt and shoes)

Cons: I can’t get a hold of them! They no longer take online purchases, so I have been calling but I never get an answer. My day to day life prohibits me from leaving a message because they cant get back to me.

Scotsweb 16oz 8y (Various Purple Tartans)
Pro: Easy to order
Pro: Would get here by 2 months

Con: Tartans not that desirable compared to other two places
Con: 2x more expensive


USAKilts
Pro: Would love to support a strong Forum member
Pro: More attention paid to kilt then other two
Pro: Second favorite Purple Tartan

Con: Most expensive of the three*(If I were to get 8yard that is)
Con: 5 yards and not 8 yards (unless I went for a premium 8yard)
Con: would more then likely get here juuust in time unless I rushed it.


Right now the only thing stopping me from getting a USA Kilt is my trepidation on getting a 5 yard. I just fear that it might be too little, or not feel as good as 8 yards. Maybe someone can allay or confirm these suspicions.
