Re: A case for the Kilt Detectives
Why not just contact the organizers of the Central Florida Highland Games and ask for a list of the vendors. Then you can check with each one until you find the one with the black patterned kilt.

Re: A case for the Kilt Detectives
Iain,
I was there and I think I remember the kilt your wife noticed. It was a cargo kilt made of cotton with a black and dark gray plaid pattern. I also liked it, but did not think it was worth the $100 asking price.
Unfortunately, I don't remember the name of the seller.
Regards, Bill McCaughtry

That may be the best way forward.

Yes, that may be it. She said it wasn't tartan, but honestly, I've been having doubts such a kilt exists. I don't doubt her veracity, just her memory. 
Thanks, everyone, for your help.

Re: A case for the Kilt Detectives
That was the one and only time I have seen this kilt. I first noticed it when a young man walked by (at the games) wearing one. So, I decided to look for the vendor selling it.
After inspecting one up close, and finding out it was made of cotton, I assumed it would probably wrinkle quickly and need to be pressed often. So, I passed on it.
