Who makes a good Sinclair tartan kilt

**piperdbh** · 30th November 11, 07:30 PM

Every one of the kiltmakers who advertise here have good reputations. I have three of Matt Newsome's kilts, and can recommend his work very highly.

My Hunting Sinclair is on order from John at Keltoi. He's my main man right now. It's less the tartan than the skills.

As others have said, any reputable kilt maker can get the tartan you require.

I'm a big fan of both Bonnie Heather Greene and Kathy Lare. Kathy is only one state away from you so a personal visit may be a possibility for you

Best of luck!

Hell's bells! Get it from them good ol' boys at Houston Kiltmakers. They're only a mule ride up the road from you.

I can personally vouch for Kathy, Matt, and Burnett's and Struth, though I suspect that any of the kiltmakers featured on our blog can do the job.

B&S currently has a 4-yd Sinclair Hunting Ancient Casual (Lochcarron 16 oz.) for sale for about $200, and you can increase it to a 5-yd kilt for about another $75.

Whatever you decide, good luck. And, post pics.

Did somebody say "Mule ride" ?

**M. A. C. Newsome** · 1st December 11, 05:39 AM

The OP is in Pasadena, TX.

Houston Kiltmakers are in Paisley, Scotland.

That's a long mule ride...

**Father Bill** · 1st December 11, 05:42 AM

Yup. If you can work with somebody close by, do. Tremendous advantages in being able to use a short mule!

My family tree includes members of the Sinclair clan, and I can confirm that the tartan makes a beautiful kilt.

Pick one of the excellent makers recommended above, and I know you will be delighted with it.

If you want good quality wool from a Scottish mill and have it made up local locally I think is better than have one made in the UK. I have found it much better to visit the kiltmaker and discuss exactly what you want and get them to measure you. Then if something does go wrong, you won't have to ship it backwards and forwards.
