Hi everyone

[setboy]

hallo Raphael!

where arr ya postin frae?

walcome!

slainte mhath!

i am from ohio

Welcome!

Maybe we can help with yoyr research?

that's what i was hoping for

What kind of price range are you looking for?

i don't have the 600+ i want. I think i can get up to about 400 give or take some (not as much as i would like to work with, but i got to start some where)

I'm not real sure about the mony yet

Do you want to go tartan? If so, what tartan are you looking at (another big decision)?

Yes, i would like to get a tartan.

this is my family tartan http://kiltstore.net/material/gammell.html?id=4JSPBp3g

that's what i was wanting, but i'm not set in stone

Personally, I would recommend you go for the full 8-yard traditional kilt in 16 oz. worsted wool in an appropriate tartan. But, that's just me.

If i had the money for one, i would

we each have our own opinions so take our suggestions and mull them over.

will do

Welcome from another Virginian. If money is a problem, I'd go with Rocky at USA Kilts and his philibeg model, or if you are close to 6' tall, Stillwater's standards are nice Kilts. I'm just shy of 5'10" and the 23" length Stillwaters fit me fine, I just have to wear them high on my waist.

not reall close to 6' tall. i'll look into the USA kilts

Thanks everyone

Welcome from the Windy City! For $400 you can get a nice kilt from USAK, and still have money left over for the inevitable accessories.

Welcome from North Dakota! You might check in with Matt at the Scottish Tartans Museum, He's a gold mine of information as well as a kilt maker.

Again welcome and well met!

Chech this one out, it is in your price range and in your family tartan. http://kiltstore.net/sr_swhdr_fiveya...tomeasure.html

While I love my 8 yard 16 oz wool traditional, I was happy to have more affordable kilts while I worked up to that point. A 5 yard wool kilt is different than an 8 yard, but it is still very nice and will serve you well.

You could also check these ones out. A quick email will likely confirm if Gammell is available

I was thinking about starting out with a 5 and working my way up.
could you list some pro's and can's of each?
