Mark:

Welcome aboard! It's ALWAYS nice to see more vendors coming in. I know that Jerry's (SWK's) kilts were a big step for me in "upgrading" towards a more traditional style of kilting, and I've no complaints with the quality of the products he sells. If your kilts are from the same source, I think they'd be great.

Semper fi, TeufulHunden!

Question about your kilts: How are they pleated? Your site doesn't mention it, only the fabric weight.

No sure how to answer this since it is a pretty open question. We can have the kilts custom made so they can be pleated to the sett or stripe. They are not box pleated, They could be I guess if you wanted them that way.

Does this help

Greetings Again from the Frugal Corner, Although we received about 150 kilts last week the Keith are still inbound..I think they are sitting in customs in New York. I was asking the weavers to make a Minnesota State Tartan for us for some kilts since we are going to the Highland Games and have a booth there. Of course as will happen, while I was preparing the order sombody emailed me about Clarke tartan. I ended up looking it up and sending a picture of the Clarke/Clergy tartan to the weaver and not the Minnesota state tartan. When teh order came in we look at it and said WHAT IS THIS? Emailed the weaver, he said,,thats what you told me to make..So we now have a bunch of Clarke Kilts..and it took me 2 days to figure out what the heck the tartan was.. thank God for a site that lets you search by in-putting colors.
We just got a great order from a production company out west that is putting on the play BRIGADOON. Its not exactly broadway but hey we are getting on stage.
Stop by the booth if you live close and have a drink and chat with us

How'd I miss this thread??!!

Welcome Mark,

If I EVER can get my chanter to work, I might just try some beginning bagpipes....

Have you ever considered marketing the beginners bagpipes just for us kilties to carry around so we don't get THAT question??

Maybe turn the bag into some type of sporran...

And, suppose its probably as useless to ask you as Jerry...but there's a market out there for your kilts at lengths other than 24"....and no thank you, I don't care to pay someone to rehem them...just a thought.

Gonna go poke around your website now.

Ron

Ron, these kilts are available in custom lengths.

**Kilted-Marine** · 15th May 07, 09:04 PM

we have made them to 26 inches, we have made them 24.5, 22, and we have made them to 18 inches.. we charge a little more and it takes about 4-5 weeks (we tell folks on ebay 6-8 weeks)
