My first reaction to the OP is that you can't buy a kilt at an event, because kilts entail getting measured and having the kilt made to your specifications.
Then I realized that I'm probably in the minority on these boards as only owning kilts, as opposed to what I call "prefix kilts" (casual-kilts, sport-kilts, utility-kilts, tactical-kilts, etc etc etc).
When I started kiltwearing, and until fairly recently (as it seems from my perspective of 40 years wearing kilts) that's what you did: you ordered a kilt, got measured, and waited.
Yes I second (third?) the Rocky recommendation. A friend recently got married. Several months prior he approached me and said "you know about kilts. I want to get married in kilts. Where do I start?"
I recommended Rocky, and Rocky took care of all his needs (except for the elaborate velvet doublet which he made himself).
About "Games prices" if I see something I want or need at a Games I buy it. Yes I could scour the internet and get it a few dollars cheaper, perhaps. But vendors are an important aspect of Games, in my opinion.
BTW I avoid Pakistani tat. Some of it is obviously shoddy, some does a pretty good job at masking its origin. Buyer beware! I much prefer buying and wearing things made in Scotland in the traditional way. Kilts are an exception; I want genuine British-made cloth but we have many excellent kiltmakers here in North America who do as good a job as the Scottish kiltmakers, it seems to me.
