I know that some of the posts have referenced multiple 10's of meters for an order. Fairly costly, and you would have quite a bit left over, unless you wanted 8 kilts in the same tartan. Might work if your weight fluctuates drastically!

I think that LochCarron might have some smaller leftovers as well, but don't have the link off hand. The Celtic Croft, see link at top of the page, right hand side, also weaves their own tartan and they offer it for sell in managable quantities.

Also, Matt can get single kilt quantities in almost any tartan, maybe you can work something with him.

Good luck!
The small quantities is one reason I am seeking for people who have remnants (sp?). I have tried the 4 yard box pleat kilts favored by kilt experts and frequent wearers Newsome and Martin. For such, I only need 2 yards of double width (56-60 inches) fabric. I am interested in various tartans, especially of the price is right. I am looking for a royal blue and red tartan, as well as a red and navy one (to go with my Atlanta Braves and reproduction mid-late 50s Atlanta Crackers baseball jerseys -> Yes, the Crackers was a real team, which won 22 championships from 1895-1965, the best record in the minors and second -only to those Yankees- best in all baseball. It was also the ONLY attempt to integrate the Southern Association league-in 1954, against the law in many states, - and played the first inter-racial games in the segregated states in 1949, in a direct challenge to the grand dragon of the Klan, who threatened to blow up the ballpark, WINNING 1 of 3 exhibition games against Robinson and the Brooklyn Dodgers. But enough about that . . .). There are several must have clan tartans and number of other I would like due to high respect for friends, historical persons, and miitary units, and some that I simply think are pretty.

(If anyone has a random 2 yards laying around I may like, send a private message.)

ALL my kilts are for personal joy and I direct interest to other MUCH more experienced makers, especially those who have helped me improve my own skills.

Thanks to any and all links to sellers of remnants! THIS IS GREAT! (and my intent)
