Actually, I was the one who posted the photos, though gilmore did contribute some good commentary.

Sorry I messed up the recognitions for help, and quite sorry for the social blunder of snootiness. It was directed to some rather kurt kilt makers I have experienced in my quest. Not the general and informed public. I'm willing to share a dram with the lot of you the next time I'm over. You've all been a wealth of info.

I'm looking forward to any of your ideas on where I might find such finery. Even if it required a custom order. I'm also trying to ask a gentlemen at Alex & Scott in Aberdeen for his ideas. I believe they make kilts onsite. The last time I was upstairs in their shop they had a wall full of bolts of fabic.

It would seem to me that you could just get a fly plaid made from heavier cloth.

Or, if you didn't want the fringe, just get a length of tartan cloth.

Hmmm.... I have a yard or so of Black Watch fabric, not really enough to make anything... This gives me an idea...

Very interesting and informative topic, guys!
