You, your father, and your best man can probably get custom made kilts and Argylls made within that time frame from any of a variety of retail vendors---Scotweb, JHiggins, are two that pop to the top of my head as doing good custom work and having enough labor to complete the multiple items on the one order in atimely fashion. The other benefit of all three ordered from the same shop is they will all be virtually identical in fabric color and sheen, and even accessories if you so choose to go that route.

The groomsmen will obviously have to do rentals, and I would search the net for somebody in your area that might do kilt rentals---there are a number of places in the US that do it, but by no means are they as readily available as they are in the UK, where they are like tux shops are here. One problem is your choice of tartan, which you have not stated. The custom kilts would only be a problem if you picked a non stock tartan and had to have it custom woven----takes several extra weeks for that before they can start to make the kilts. The groomsmen will have to wear whatever choice of tartans is available from the rental place, which often is only about 3-6 generic tartans, like Black watch, Royal Stewart, Pride of Scotland, etc... you may have some tartan clash between the three custom tartan kilts and the rentals on the groomsmen.

Also don't forget to take into account the color pattern the bridesmaids will be wearing (I assume the bride will be wearing white, and if any tartan it would be the same as yours).

hope this helps.
