PRICING? ... For a HEAVY-WEIGHT man's kilt using 8-9 yards, MOST kilts are $1350.00 CDN (NO Tax). However, if I have to source the yardage from a Mill that I don't usually use, there will be a surcharge.
If you prefer a MEDIUM-WEIGHT kilt (not my recommendation for men, but available in some Tartans), the price is $1300.00 CDN.
If your tartan is RARE, or has to be CUSTOM-WOVEN, the price will be higher & will have to be QUOTED individually.
On-line orders will be accepted, but measurements are YOUR responsibility ... please check & then DOUBLE-CHECK, using a friend to do the measuring. I will make your kilt to the measurements that YOU provide ... but if your measurements are wrong, and I have to make changes afterward, it will be at your cost.
Please e-mail if you have questions!
Ensure Proper Fit
I always prefer to measure clients personally to be certain that the measurements are taken correctly.
However, if it isn't possible for you to come to me, here are some instructions to help you get the next best fit.
MOST IMPORTANT - do NOT measure yourself, enlist a friend!
Tie a piece of string or elastic around your middle (no, REALLY!). Make sure that it is higher than you wear your trousers or jeans ... at your NATURAL waist. That should be about ONE INCH above your navel, but lean to the side, & feel for the soft part between your hip bone and your lowest rib. Once the string or elastic is in place, use a sewing tape measure over top of it and take a SNUG measurement - the RISE added to your kilt top will be 2" higher than this waist level.
The next measurement is your hips at the largest point. Empty your pockets first, but keep THIS measurement LOOSE.
The last measurement is the length. Have your friend measure down from the string at your waist to the top of your knee (or mid-knee AT THE LONGEST). Record this number - I will add the necessary rise. Look straight ahead - DO NOT look down. That can alter the measurement & make your kilt end up the wrong length.
