Another voice for fine quality here. For BOTH tartans.

Since were tossing kiltmaker's names about here do yourself a favor and include Kathy Lare of Kathy's Kilts in your selection process. She's a full time kiltmaker so your jones is shorter. You're dealing direct with her so there's no middleman cut or risk of information transmittal errors. She helps with the financial end of it by accepting half down to order in the cloth and sew up the kilt. The balance is due when the kilt is complete making the financial end a two step process. Many members of this board have kilts hand sewn by her. I have ten. She is the only kiltmaker in North America to graduate from the Kieth Kilt School in Scotland and have her Scottish qualifications in kiltmaking. She makes her kilts in the traditional manner rather than the "tailored" manner. AND...she's from a Marine family. Her husband Rob was offereing a KBar replica sgian dubh. The perfect accessory for a Leatherneck tartan kilt. Check her prices on her website and you'll see she's most competative.

Whoever you select to sew up your kilts I highly recommend spending the money on a quality kilt that looks sharp and will maintain its value over the years - either to your family as an heirloom, or on the kilt market should you "outgrow" it.
