There are kiltmakers here in the USA making wool kilts. They typically use Locharron, House of Edgar, or Marton Mills as the supplier for the Tartan cloth. I don't believe there are any USA-based weavers making Tartan anymore (Pendleton wove nice wool Tartans back in the 1980s)

I have been looking at a couple of companies in the USA, and Locharron in 16oz is my choice, possibly HOE, so I may yet be okay. I am sorry to hear that part of the Kiltmaking Industry is suffering. I worry that when a community shrinks, then so does competition and quality.. I suppose that we shall see!
