    12 years ago my OH paid about £400 for his kilt - made to measure -, and another £300+ for all the 'bits'.

    We got it from Hector's (?) in Edinburgh.

    If your family has a popular tartan then you can probably pick one up 'off-the-peg' for considerably less, or even buy an ex-Hire one.

    If you're not in Scotland then the only places I've seen them are Edinburgh Woollen Mill type places & the Hire shops.

    Thank you jfdi, it's quite pricey isn't it. No, it's for a friends wedding and we are not in Scotland so might have to look at the Woollen Milll place to see what they have!

    What about hiring one from Moss Bros? From £79 and they do extended hire for another £15 to cover weddings abroad

    Thanks for the link, that's really appreciated! Have been looking on ebay and can buy them for approx £45-50 but not sure if they will be okay or not, seems to be alot on there though to pick from... might be better to hire, so thanks again for the link
