I'll be honest. There are waaay too many kilt makers out there for me to find on my own and shop around.

In the next month or two, I'd like to scrape together the money for a 16-ounce wool, 8 yard, knife-pleated traditional kilt. The tartan I want is Colquhoun weathered. It's not a common one, so I know I'll have to pay extra for it.

I'm trying to do an apples-to-apples comparison among the kilt makers to find the best bargain (I define that as the best kilt for the money, not necessarily the cheapest kilt). I know this is a bit subjective and there's a lot of opinions involved. Some kilt makers are extremely high quality, but their prices are extremely high too. Some are poor quality and cheap. But who do you think makes the best traditional wool kilt at the best price that is a good compromise on price and quality?
