    The warrior tartan in PV from Bearkilts is woven, not printed, and looks good.

    If you are looking for a good price on a traditional kilt definitely check ex-hire kilts, e-bay, and military surplus; I have one of each. Most of the military surplus kilts are for people with less than a 34" waist. E-bay, like any auction, demands an informed buyer, but you can pick up a traditional kilt there for a very reasonable price. Ex-hire kilts can be a good deal, but again you have to know what you are buying.

    FYI http://houseoflabhran.net/kilt.html is a good place to look for military kilts.

    The difference in military kilts is the high rise, almost to the rib cage. If military is what you want check out www.whatpriceglory.com. they have 22 oz repros of several military kilts that are very good quality and are made in the larger sizes.

    You can grab the Whidby Is. ferry and be at Bear's store and home in a day trip.
    If you have time also try Canada Kilts. But Bear is one awesome kilt maker. Don't let the Poly/Viscous fabric throw you off. His stuff is first rate.
    The beer in Vancouver is as good, and some better, than what you will get Stateside. Canadians use US beer to brush their teeth.

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

    If you're looking for a great deal on a handsewn traditional, I'd highly suggest the sale page of Burnetts and Struth. The one I got from them is amazing, and only cost me $300USD. It's handsewn, 16oz wool. A beauty of a kilt.

    It mainly just depends on if they have your size in a tartan that you like.

    Cheers!
