The Luxury Traditional Kilts by Scotweb are made by D.C. Dalgliesh, no matter where the fabric comes from.

My Dalgleish-woven and made 10 yarder is a thing of beauty, and will undoubtedly outlast me. I ordered it through the Scottish Tartans Museum in Franklin, NC, which because it's only and hour and a half away, I was able to go for measuring before ordering, and fit checking after it arrived. I felt the price was more reasonable than Scotweb.

just got a mail from scotweb. many costumers wanting tartan from another mill in the Dc Dalgliesh kilt. The tartan that I opted for is from a high quality Scottish mill.

Lochcarron, House of Edgar, D.C. Dalgliesh, Marton Mills, etc, are all high quality mills.

I haven't seen or felt DC Dalgleish cloth (I think their 'Heavyweight' is only 15 ounces anyway) but of all the other mills Lochcarron Strome is the best in my opinion.

I like Locharron Strome as well. I am also an avid fan of D.C. Dalgliesh's heavyweight tartan, which has a tighter weave than that of Lochcarron and feels smoother to the touch. I have kilts from both mills. As far as overall weight is concerned, I don't feel one bit of difference between the 15 ounce and the 16 ounce.
