I own handmade 8-yard kilts in Lochcarron fabric, built by two different local kiltmakers here in the Scottish Borders. One of them builds kilts with two straps and buckles while the other uses three. The fabric may be woven by Lochcarron in Scotland and the kilt may have been assembled by a Scottish kiltmaker, but the individual kiltmaker will have his or her own take on what constitutes a proper kilt.
