The address is a residence, it must be a mail order/internet operation.

If money is short, I would suggest this kilt as your first forray into the kilted world. Tartan hiker has one, and I'll be ordering three here in the next few days.
the link below is Tartan Hiker's review of a blackwatch tartan kilt available on ebay for ~$50. Sounds like a great starter kilt!

From the web site:
These kilts are made to the traditional Scottish design.
Usually that is code for "these kilts are not made in Scotland." And at that price, I can tell you they are not made in America... or Canada... or anywhere in what we would consider the Western world.
I've been sent for alteration a few kilts that were labelled on the inside with the phrase "traditional Scottish design" and not a one of them was actually made in Scotland. Nor were they wool, 8 yards, or hand sewn.
Email him again. I'm guessing he's talking about his "Standard Kilt" when he says it is 8 yards of 13 oz wool.
Aye,
Matt
