great to know!
Heya Robin, good to know there's other kilt manufacturers outside UK and USA, thanks to ur advice and my constance, I found someway at an "official" site the right version of my homeland tartan (http://www.tartansauthority.com/web/...artan=Valencia) , and I woukld like in a future to make it real in some way, although my incomings are quite limited compared with those from other sides of Europe! lol. As a Nederlander u must know the difference between the wages at Netherlands and Spain, so, u'll understand why I'm worried about that!.
Anyway, my question is about ur new discovered kiltmaker... can u share with us more or less the cost of a tailored kilt there? (in €, u know). maybe it will be cheaper than trying to import it from overseas!
Thanks in advance for ur past and future help!
Saludos!

How nice that you could find a jacket that fits you before you paid for it, Robin. And it was a bit of an adventure, too!
Tono, welcome to the board. You must write an intro for yourself. We're happy to have you.

@ Valencian Kilted...
They're not kiltmakers themselves...they order their kilts in Scotland (Lochcarron again).
A Lochcarron made 8 yards 16oz (Strome) 100% hand made will cost €400.
That's a lot of money, but much "cheaper" as most online traders.
My Prince Charlie (+waistcoat) was €259....seen the same jacket for £295 (about €430!!!!) online.
Lesson: Compare the price with other traders!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
About the Valencia tartan...I checked many online shops, but so far I didn't find any who has it in their range.
At first we must find a weaver who has it....maybe a wise man like Hamish can help...He's the God of Kilts (sorry for the blasphemy Prester John )
Willing to help, but I don't really know how :-(
