I've been looking for a kilt suit for my oh but he wants his family tartan. Problem is I can't find one anywhere. And ones I do are like £600-700 which there's no way in hell I'm paying.i found one on 3bay but their suppliers discontinued his family tartan so only size available is 30 waist and my oh a 32-34 :( anyone know where I can get one? I was hoping to buy rather than rent but only looking at £200 max to spend. The tartan is Campbell of argyll.

Kilts are normally made from wool and tend to be 8 yards long which can make them quite expensive especially for the more unusual tartans, the cheapest wool kilt that I've found is £180 but it's only 5 yards and I don't know how that will affect the look as we paid for a 8 yard for my OH and they start at around £275 from the company that we got ours from, hope this helps if I can help any more just shout and I'll do what I can
Ah sorry forgot about links being removed. Thanks for posting to your wall. Traditional kilts are made from heavy wool. The one I posted is made of poly viscose and is still 8 yard. People buy them for informal events like ceilidhs and rugby etc but in my opinion they still look the part. Hope that helps (they cost about £50-60)

To buy the full kilt outfit you be looking around £800/£900 each, in most cases it is cheaper to hire but it depends what kilt you are looking for most places only hire the popular ones... There is a place in Musselburgh where we have got ours from and have a good selection to hire and buy, they also have an online site if you require the information please let me know. xx

I had h2bs kilt made, 8 yards and whatever pleat it was, its beautiful and swings better than my dress and his flashes in matching tartan for £315. If i was to have bought the jacket and stuff with it it would of been closer to £450. I had to have his made to as no one ever in there right mind would hire his tartan! Ancent hunting frazer, but its his family tartan, there was a few on the bay of e i saw tho that were hand made 8 yard from Edinburgh for £150 ish.

Thanks ladies, will keep on looking. Think I found one for 650/700 so will put that as a reserve. I thought of buying as its not something u get the chance to buy every day, but on the other hand not sure how often he'd actually wear it x

I've told him he needs toget to his wanted weight as put little weight on when he was out of work and then we can see how money is and go from there, but really wanted to surprise him x
