All right. For what I saw I like the effect that a sett knife pleated kilt gives...
The wedding is in june, so I think I have to rush a little to collect everything I need:
kilt, jacket, accessories and all your priceless suggestions...
Should I trust to order kilt and jacket online from a good company? Are those products good or they look cheap? I am 2 meters tall and 125 kg, so I must have my suits sewed by my taylor and I really would like to have a great kilt that fit perfectly, but unfortunally here in Switzerland and Italy no one will do such a hard work (I have no time to spend a weekend in Scotland...).

A kiltmaker will take at least 6 weeks usually so don't leave things too late. If you are buying an outfit here is a measuring guide -

But I would strongly advise you to be properly measured by the kiltmaker and not spend so much money when you may end up disappointed. There are kiltmakers in London as well as Scotland if you can visit there. If not you should really hire an outfit (costs about £50) for the day and when you are in Scotland arrange to have a fitting and make an order then. There are many good kiltmakers in and around Edinburgh and if you want the absolute best then I would recommend Stewart Christie & Co, Queen Street, Edinburgh.

Hey bro, welcome to X marks.
Get your kilt from reputable maker, but I would just rent the coat. Jackets are blooming expensive. You rent one for a one time occasion, and then wear your
kilt whenever you wish, buying more as time goes on because you look like such a stud in one.
Good on ya for crossing into the kilt world. Your being a good friend to you buddy.

Since he will be married to this scottish girl, I do not want to rent a kilt. I will have mine custom made and I will wear it for many occasions...
Their celebrations for the anniversary, that I really hope will be hundreds, their parties, and probably even some galas here in switzerland... These are the reasons because I want one and I would like it as perfect as can be!!!
Thanks everybody for your precious help!
