It's good to look over the actual weaver's site for various reasons, for example with Marton Mills I discovered that

1) they sent me samples for free

2) after I got several samples in hand, I found the colours shown on the Marton Mills website were much more accurate than the colours shown on the USA Kilts website.

The other thing that's important to find out (for me) is the sett size, which some makers list.

I think a man's kilt looks best with a large sett size.
For clarification, Strathmore do not weave their own cloth but buy it in. I don't know who actually weaves it, MM possibly.
