First Kilt Purchase Advice

[thescot]

I would definitely investigate the Angus with Matt first since that's whay you really want. But you should also check out the Freemasonry tartan since it's pretty available and is, in my opinion, a very nice tartan.

And definitely opt for a tank, i.e., a full 8 yard, custom kilt, from one of the kiltmakers on this site. Rocky, Tweksberry, etc. make the best you can order. It'll outlast you and your children in all likelihood, and I just believe it's best to start out with a real, honest to goodness, full meal deal. You'll never regret owning a good custom kilt.

Or one of Matt's 4-yrd. box-pleated kilts...

That does cut down on the fabric costs.
