One of the odd facts of life is that something custom made for someone else may still be better than something standard made for nobody. I have heard of Savile Row suits being taken back to their makers for adjustment to the new owner. I do not know how much customizing a kiltmaker can do for you on someone else's kilt, but I would suggest you look at used kilts, too. And, of course, there is the Military Kilt, as sold by WHAT PRICE GLORY and the real ones, frequently sold on eBay.
If you buy or order a new chest of drawers and keep it for six months, when you go to sell it, you have a piece of used furniture, worth noticeably less than it cost new. If you buy a 50 or 75 year old chest and keep it for five years, when you go to sell it, it is still approximately 50 to 75 years old and probably worth about what you paid for it. You will read again and again about how long a "tank" will last. Like everything else, they do come on the market, when people die or their needs change, or just because Fortune Smiles.
I would look at the For Sale forum here as well as the dreaded Internet Auction Site. If you can't find what you want in a reasonable length of time, then do follow your itch with one (or more) of the many great suggestions above.
