Re: The perfect kilt - if price is no object

Who would you have make your kilt?
I am with Jock on this one, I have it already! However, if I had to choose my kiltmaker, based upon who I have already used as my preferred kiltmaker, I would choose Kinloch-Anderson of Leith, Scotland.
This decision doesn't necessarily mean I am not open to 'branch out' and try other kiltmakers. On the contrary, I am in the process of having another heavyweight, 8-yard tank, complete with all of the pertinent details, i.e. - fully lined, made of D.C. Dalgliesh tartan in the Macpherson reproduction colours, double fringe, two brown leather straps and brass buckles (tones well with this particular tartan), etc, by Barb Tewksbury, and I eventually would like a kilt made by Matt Newsome...so I think I am well on my way...lottery or no lottery!  
Cheers,
