Casual Kilt supplier in UK?

**Barry** · 11th January 08, 02:07 AM

One of my favorite casual kilts is now too small and cannot be altered to fit (?). It is a 5 yard economy wool kilt by Hector Russell that cost only GBP99. So I logged on to their site to order a new one, and - disaster! They have stopped supplying!!!

So can anyone tell me a good place to get a wool economy kil in Britain that won't cost me an arm and a leg? (I'm not too worried what tartan it is but should be a dark colour)

thanks

You could always give Geoffrey Tailor a call.
Depending on your size they should be able to make you a 5 yard casual for a similar price.
I've had luck with them in the past.

I suppose this is a step in the right direction.

If you're strictly looking for suppliers in the UK, then you may want to try some of XMARKS' UK advertisers...

http://www.tartanweb.com/ or
http://kiltstore.net/

They both have Casual kilts.

Have you tried www.unionkilts.com ? They sell a causal tartan kilt in their own tartan.

Many thanks to al you who suggested suppliers. I'm following a couple of leads including getting my 'small' kilt let out

I suppose the cheapest route is to go on a diet ;-)
