Douglas Brown kilt review-- thetartanstore.co.uk

[Riverkilt]

Interesting....if current exchange is correct that's about $468 USD. Which is just $27 less than what my kiltmaker charges to hand sew a 16 ounce men's kilt....course, no special weave there.

Ron:
It's dearer than my favorite kilt maker charges for a standard strome, hand stitched too and I feel most disloyal even thinking about it but we're talking special weaves here. Kilts that nobody else has... I'm sure you know that feeling mate? For now at least?

kilted scholar:
You're right, I've checked their list and most, but not all of my wishlist is available. Which makes it all the more painful that I'm not in a position to jump right in.

[Riverkilt]

Aye. Okay, I recently paid 329 Pounds Sterling for a 16 ounce, hand sewn, single kilt custom weave by Dalgliesh Mills. Still not that much more ($63) for the hand sewn instead of machine sewn.

[English Bloke]

Mmmmm... you have a good point. Unfortunately this is all speculation as I don't have the financial where-with-all to expend on Kilts right now. No bad news, thankfully. Only good and nothing that really effects anybody here but I must conserve what I have for now... all will become clear soon enough.

Edit: No wish to hijack this excellent thread

Great looking tartan, and a great deal. You are the winner of the day!

[Joshua]

I looked and they will do a kilt in Davidson double.

Time to start saving...

That Brown isn't bad looking at all, if I do say so myself, nice contrast to the weathered.

Very nice! I wear the Douglas Modern, but I love the look of that Douglas Brown. Very cool variation.

[Dale Seago]

First I knew of the Brown -- very nice indeed! The "clan tartan" I wear is Douglas, my mother being born a Morton, and I may need to look further into this. On the other hand I have two kilts, a Modern and a Weathered, coming in the next week or so from Matt Newsome. . .
