    Our own Hamish had/has a kilt made up this way-



    but searching around I haven't found out WHERE to get one, just that they are "rare"...

    ith:

    Edit: I wanted to add that there IS a Celtic FC tartan - apparently woven by House of Edgar in 2005. So if your groom wants a kilt that might be a little more wearable in more situations that might be the way to go.

    Hi Artificer,

    Yeah initially we were opting for the Celtic Tartan but on seeing this little beauty we preferred this Best keep hunting, maybe contact a kilt maker see if I can have 2 made.

    Thanks for your help

    ith:
    According to an old list Riverkilt had of Hamish's kilt kollection, the above kilt was acquired by Hamish in 2004 from Club Kilts in East Kilbride.

    The photo you referenced of the kilt on the table, came from this thread http://www.xmarksthescot.com/forum/f...04/index2.html
    The original thread was started in October, 2011.

    Hope that helps.

    Here's the Celtic storefront- no kilts.

    I couldn't find a listing for "Club Kilts" and their website is not functional anymore,

    Maybe if you email Celtic FC directly..?

    Good luck!

    Club Kilts is indeed gone. They were in business for less than three years.

    I actually got to see and hold Hamish's kilt when I visited him last.

    It is Wool in about 13oz and fully traditional in construction. Probably cost Hamish in the $400.00-$500.00 price range.

    I have no idea where someone would find some of this fabric now as I believe all the Club Kilt fabrics were specially woven for them.

    I wear the kilt because:
    Swish + Swagger = Swoon.

    I would suggest contacting Crieff based, Peter MacDonald. We know him here, on the forum, as figheadair. Peter is a tartan historian, as well as, tartan design consultant, and small lot weaver.

    You could also try Scotweb's sister company, D.C. Dalgliesh. They will weave small orders, also. Scotweb's owner, Nick Fiddes, is part of the forum.
    http://www.dcdalgliesh.co.uk/

    Either of these gentlemen should be able to help you.

    Btw, welcome to the forum, and congratulations on your upcoming nuptials.
