    Skweres,

    To get a really good price on a kilt, it's going to have to be a mass poduced one. The mass produced tartans are going to be ones that a large number of people will wear (they have to be to make financial sense). I don't think you are going to find those tartans you mentioned at this point in PV, cotton, or acrylic. They are only going to be found in wool, therefore requiring a custom kilt. If I may be so bold as to offer a suggestion for someone wanting to honor their Irish roots, how abut a Stillwater solid Green or Saffron. I believe many Irish regiments wore / wear these. You can purchase an all wool 6-8 yard kilt with lots of pleats for under $150. I love my solid green one and look forward to wearing it on Saint Patrick's day.

    It's worth a look
