Kilt Advice

[Mael Coluim]

from the Old Dominion State!

I wore a belted plaid (Great Kilt) in our wedding. The plaid will be much less expensive than a tailored kilt. My groomsmen whom I called my chosen men help wrap me up on the wedding day. It was a blast! A thought for you.

Good Lord Erik,

Its YOUR wedding too. Should not the groom invest as much in his attire as the bride? Don't want it to look as if the elegant princess is marrying a pauper.

Choose your tartan, then hook up with Barb Tewksbury or Kathy Lare. They'll find your cloth for you and hand sew you a kilt you'll treasure all your life and pass on to your sons and grandsons. You'll stand tall. Most importantly you'll have a personal relationship with your kiltmaker that will tailor the kilt for you alone. And, the kiltmaker will know your wedding date and meet it.

Great fears about trusting the word of a company that has kilts made by anonymous kiltmakers to meet your wedding date. Too many tales of horror about that on this forum.

If you really are too poor to have a hand sewn kilt made up then USA Kilts semi-traditional is an option. You can trust Rocky to sew up a fine PV kilt for you.

But hey, if your wedding isn't the time to go top of the line - nothing else is.

Welcome. Um... Ya, what RiverKilt said, and I don't know anything else.

Riverkilt is right that there's nothing like a handsewn wool kilt. Unfortunately, young Erikm said he's on a budget. Unless that budget includes $500 or more for the kilt, let alone everything else he needs, that's just not the answer.

I paid more for my wedding outfit than my wife paid for hers.

[Riverkilt]

Pretty much a personal choice. Sad sometimes that budgets limit such an event.

If the means are there, one will never regret doing it the way they envision.

Matt Newsome should really be included in this statement. Matt provides excellent customer service, a personal relationship with his customers, and a quality hierloom garment.

Sorry Todd,

Didn't mean to slight Matt, was supplementing Coemgen, who mentioned Matt, but said he had forgotten others. Shoulda been more clear like, less muddled....Just wanted to be sure Barb and Kathy were on the list.

You know, now that I think about it, I hope the way opens for you to get exactly the tartan you want in a high quality wool that will please you, and made by an expert kilt maker. It could happen, and good luck.
