No problemo. I'd recommend you send the cloth to Bob Martin. He's been making kilts for about 30 years now, and is who trained me to make them. In fact, in 1983, he was the first kiltmaker since the nineteenth century to revive the four yard box pleated kilt. But he makes all kinds of kilts and does it expertly. He's a fellow member of the Guild of Tartan Scholars and knows as much about kilts, and is as skilled a kiltmaker, as probably anyone living.
Anyway, he charges the same as I do for cut, make and trim, and that's $220. I'm sure he wouldn't mind me posting his phone to get him some buisiness, but seeing as this is a very public forum, I'd feel more comfortable if you would PM me if you are interested and I'll give you his number.
Aye,
Matt
PS -- I should also add that he has experience working with old cloth, icnluding restoring a 200 year old kilt for our museum. He's currently working on restoring a kilt that belonged to a woman's grandfather and is probably 100 + years old. So he'd have no problem working with the old cloth.
