Gonna be a Scott Red Modern 16 oz Strome in honor of my maternal/maternal side. A line of guys who fought in the War of 1812 on the U.S. side and got a land grant in Indana for their service and pioneered on west winding up in Montana. Was also the musical branch of the family. My grandmother was a "circuit rider" music teacher to Montana schools back in the early 1900s. My little sister (the college professor) is in the process of writing a book about her and other's like her....the ladies who brought music to the frontier...
Anyhow, danged if the couple running the booth in Flagstaff wearing the black Clan Scott t-shirts weren't wearing that tartan. So I've had an advance look at it. Its red with green and white and I think a little black...can't remember...know I spent a LOT of time picking out "which" Scott tartan.
Boy...once Kathy has your measurements and you have your first kilt from her you're gonna be hooked big time on her work. You'll find yourself browsing tartans looking for another one for her to sew up for you.
Don't delay because of money...remember she'll go to work getting the fabric for you for a deposit. Pay the balance when the kilt...and flashes....are done. She makes a top quality flash too...good wide elastic with metal fittings.

"I'll have a kilt please, a nice hand sewn tartan, 16 ounce Strome. Oh, and a sporran on the side, with a strap please."
