I'm totally new to the wearing of the Kilt and am currently working in Qatar (not many kilt manufacturers here), I've saved the dough to buy a Tank & reasonable quality accessories. (have about a grand to spend in total).
I've also lost a few pounds, i'm now under 300lbs and feel the need to indulge myself. and can think of nothing more stylish than full dress in one of my clans tartans.
I'm 6 foot, built like the proverbial outhouse (54" chest), played prop forward in my youth, but have now spread a little around the beer gut area (44").
Can anyone advise me as to the best style for my build?
Having surfed this excellent forum and the web for a couple of weeks, I've decided on the 16oz Grant Hunting tartan manufactured by Glena and will probably go for a box pleat. I'd like to get the outfit made in Scotland, has anyone experience in buying full dress online (I can get a tailor here to do the measuring) if I new what was required.
Can anyone recommend a master kiltmaker, who's happy/experienced in working with oversea's clients?
I need to get the process underway, as I've a wedding coming off in the summer and would love to wear full dress to it, I think the material may be special order.
regards
Granty
