    Matt Newsome's incredible 4 yd. box pleated kilts start at $350.00 even for 16oz. worsted wool tartan. That's one heck of a good price for what you get.

    I'll also second Ozman's advice...if the $200 for a 16 oz from Burnett's and Struth is too expensive for your wallet, do check out stillwaterkilts.com and thefrugalcorner.com.
    Good luck with your first kilt purchase!!

    You need go no further than the advertisers bar at the top of this forum.

    Rocky and Kelly at USA Kilts should be your first stop. A custom made kilt from them is a joy. So is the service.

    The fabric for the first kilt on your wish list should be Poly/Viscous. It will be in the correct Tartan, the colors will be accurate, the kilt itself will be durable, machine washable, and capable of being dressed up very well.

    Remember, you get what you pay for. In the kilt world that is very true.

    I wear the kilt because:

    Well, as Stillwater Kilts, Utilikilts, and SportKilt have already been mentioned, I won't bother restating those (OOPS!! Look at that- I did!) So let me just say--
