			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.

					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.
