    Matt is too humble. His ability to provide for single run tartans and 4 yard box pleat kilts at the price he charges is awesome. In fact, I need to drop him a note right now about when I have been thinking about, so if you'll excuse me....

    Just pretend that the pink lines aren't there. Who'll notice?

    I don't mean to sound like I'm advertising for myself, but I do get a lot of interest in my kilts from folks who want tartans not normally available. Having a 4 yard kilt rather than an 8 yard kilt cuts the cost of the cloth in half.

    My standard price for an average sized man in a custom woven tartan is $480. That's less than what you'll pay for a nice quality 8 yard kilt in a readily avaialbe tartan. And this is for heavy weight worsted wool kilting cloth woven in Scotland.

    If you are interested, link's in the sig file. I'll be glad to help.

    Advertise away Matt. I was going to say that Matt, Barb, Rocky, and a few others can likely have the tartan woven for one kilt for less than you have been quoted. Be sure to also check the kiltstore link up top, as they have access to some pretty rare tartans.

    By the way, the kilt looks like Fraser Hunting Ancient to me.

    Nope, won't do. It looks nothing like the other. It has red stripes and hunter green squares instead of black and lime green.

    The original is a very nice tartan though. I would love to have a mini-kilt in that tartan.

    Matt is indeed too humble. You can't go wrong with one of his 4 yard box pleated kilts. I have one, and lust for more. Also, I haven't done it yet (funds) but Barb T. had given me insight into a custom woven tartan, and her price for the finished kilt was FAR below what I thought it would be. You might contact her if the 4 yard box pleat isn't your thing.

    No way, dude. Too many stripes.

    It is very similar to this Inglis tartan with the yellow line changed to green.

    The Kilt is my delight !
