Summary:  lots of cash.....


    Being a member of the Black Watch (RHR) of Canada (the pipe band)(reserve)
 and having first hand experiance with kilts made from the heaviest
 of wool blends, having pleats of 5 inches, taking 10-12 yards of material,
 and weighing a ton, I think one will cost you a bundle. You might want to
 look around Aldershot, Nova Scotia, since this is where the active battalions
 were disbanded in the 60's.i Or you might check with the second battalion
 in Montreal; or sometimes old kilts can be found in army surplus stores in
 Canada (this is becoming rarer and rarer....) If you really want some 
 information you should write Bruce Bolton, The Olde Fort, Ste. Helenes
 Island,Montreal, Quebec, Canada. He was once the regimental sargeant
 major of the regiment, and is now an officer.
