Hi, My name is Larry, from Missouri in the US. I could really use some help. I have been researching kilts for 3 months now and I know less now than I did when I started. I would like a decent Kilt without paying $3000 for it. Actually a Prince Charlie outfit with fly plaid. I have 2 dilemmas, the first being, I cant fly to Scotland to find an outfit, and the second is that no self respecting Missourian would buy anything sight unseen, especially over the internet, where anyone can claim what ever they wish. It is true, I know nothing about kilts except for what I have read, It seem that the majority say to get a hand sewn kilt and not a machine made one. The only kilt that I have even seen or touched was one from a gentleman I met on a cruise 2 months ago. He was a fine Scot gentleman from Glasgow. He had a kilt he wore to formal night and sit at the same table I was. I later got to examine the garment. Max proudly told me the outfit was tailored made by the company that calls themselves the Kings of Kilts. Now I am not a tailor, but when I looked at the sewing, the stitching was not good, the stiches were not even and the same length and also the tension of each stitch was not the same, the kilt looked beautiful across the room, but up-close, it lets a lot to be desired. My question is this, could anyone help me locate a nice outfit. I have admire the kilt for many years, but only recently want one for me. thank you all for your help Larry
