I think their website mentioned 13k+ different types...YIKES!!! If you're thinking ancient Celt, then the SMC mascot tartan should have Celtic knot symbols in it.
4k+ varieties with 13k+ sub-varieties....only a INTEGRAL majors dream?

Bleeding Red and Blue

Here are some other suggestions:

Robertson Hunting Modern

http://www.lindaclifford.com/Robertson.html

Colquhoun Modern

http://www.lindaclifford.com/Colquhoun.html

Duncan Modern

http://www.lindaclifford.com/Duncan.html

Ferguson Modern

http://www.lindaclifford.com/Ferguson.html

Personal opinion: Robertson & Colquhoun are the strongest designs & will "read" better from a distance. Colquhoun will probably be a bit stronger than Robertson because of the parallel white lines. Nice framework & focus.

They're all available from stock in 13 oz. medium weight, so I can give you the quote now:

$625 - 8-yard kilt in 13 oz. medium weight $150 - Fly Plaid with plain fringe (1.5 yard)

$15 - S/H to California

$790 - Total
