Tweed Kilt Question

[PhysicsIsPants]

I am looking at getting some tweed kilts from USA Kilt and wanted to see if anyone has had experience with these. In particular, you can choose between tweeds made by 3 different mills and I want to know if any of them are "better suited" as kilt material. The standard options are from GT (not sure which mill this actually is) and for an additional surcharge you can use materials from LC (which I believe is Lochcarron) and MM (which I believe is Marton Mills).

Any thoughts, comments, or opinions?

I would guess GT = ‘Gaelic Themes’. They have a web site.

I would be interested to hear what people knowledgeable about those three sources have to say, in particular kiltmakers.

I've ordered my first tweed kilt, which will also be my first kilt from USA Kilts.

Here is somebody else's kilt made in the exact fabric I'm getting, Hunting Stewart Weathered tweed from Marton Mills.

I'm familiar with Gaelic Themes from the Pipe Band scene, they're big suppliers of hose, kilts, jackets, sporrans, etc to Pipe Bands.

I didn't know they had a mill.

I don’t think they do (I think they will sell you cloth, though).
