    Just to throw one more option at you.... have you considered a 4 yard box pleat in 16 oz wool? It is a very traditional kilt and due to the lower yardage is usually less expensive.

    Also the price previously mentioned of $750 for an 8 yd wool kilt is perhaps in Canadian dollars

    Here in the States you can get a bespoke wool kilt in 8 yds for about $600.00 depending on size.

    Good luck with your decision - lots of good advice above.
