Where to find MacQueen Kilt for a reasonable price

**Rlail** · 13th January 20, 02:52 PM

So, as some of you may have seen, I recently purchased a MacNeil Tartan kilt for the AtlantaKilt company, along with accessories, and have been very happy with it so far. MacNeil of Barra seems much more common than my mothers folks, the MacQueens. Everywhere I look for the MacQueen kilt is quite expensive. Does anyone have any resources out there that may be a little more financially viable?

USAKilts has a few different MacQueen fabrics. No polyviscose so the semi traditional kilt is out but you could get their 5 yard kilt in macqueen for $299.99.

I can't speak to the quality - but this is listed by Bauhaus Boy on ebay.

The also have some matching accoutrements - if that's your thing.

Just a friendly observation, that I hope will not cause offence.

We in Scotland could probably choose many tartans that we have a connection to. If you take me as an example, I could choose at least ten. Most of us choose just the one, that is usually, but not always, our father's. If nothing else, it is a lot less expensive that way.

No offense taken! It's simply meant to honor my Maternal grandfather and great grandfather. If we're stuck with simply Paternal line, then Lail, my Surname is German from Baden-Wurttemberg, on the Rhine, and originally Loehl, but as we know, literacy wasn't a strong suit for most people until recently. But, I'm mostly Scots-Irish, and that's how I think of myself. We Americans are slightly more mongrel, I think.

We Scots are a mongrel race too, only we started quite a bit earlier with the mixing.....that probably goes for all of us the world over , even if we don't know the who or the where, if we care to think about it...... and we are still adding to the mixture. As I have said we tend to just pick one tartan for whatever reason and stick with it, although the paternal line is probably the usual route. Again, as I have mentioned, we make a choice whatever that might be and stick with it. It does not mean that we forget our other ancestors that we know of. As I also mentioned, it is also a much less expensive option!

We tend buy the best we can afford and buy only once. Something many on this website might like to think about?
