    Looking for a kilt maker

    Posted in the "About Kilts" forum but didn't get any responses so I'm hoping moving over here might help.

    Just got in 3-4 yards of double wide Lamont Ancient cotton. Since Texas is just a little warm during the summer (about 11 months of the year it seems) I was thinking it would make a good casual summer piece.

    So what I'm looking for is a maker who has time to make a quality kilt (buckles and all), box pleats, and another maker for the ones I have. I'm more than happy with all of them I just want to make the rounds for a collection, maybe SWK or USAK?

    Looking to spend $100-$200 range with the shipping.

    Here is the full width, a close up for color and a shot to (hopefully) give an idea of the weight -







    Thanks,
    Jim

    Cotton....a challenge maybe. Don't know if Jimmy Carbomb of Barley Juice is still doing kilt work. Could ask him.

    kilt maker

    I've had good luck with Alexis Malcolm kilts. She's made 4 kilts for me, a box pleat, an 8 yard knife pleat and 2 - 5 yard knife pleats. the box pleat is in US Merchant Marine, the 8 yard is in Polaris tartan, the 2 - 5 yarders are Irish national and County Galway.

    Google Alexis Malcolm Kilts, she's located in Florida.

    Gabe Everson here on the forums does a bang up job! I have two from him, and cannot complain about a single thing. Awesome guy to work with too.

    Another kilt maker to consider: Wallace Catanach, Waterfall Kilts. He's located in State College, PA. Wally did a bang up job on my 8 yard, knife pleated tank! Do a Google search for Waterfall Kilts.
