Very cool I will have to go out kilted and pick up a sun.

Nice positive story.

Great article but some math is wrong. I don't make or sell 5,300 kilts a year though I would like to... then again no. I like the personal touch you order from me and I'm the guy that's going to make your kilt not an employee.
At the moment my operation can produce between 200-300 a year and that's just fine with me.

Great comments Steve, ... and here's to all the hits on the Canadian kilt makers web sites.
Cheers
Robert

Very cool! Congrats on making the paper Robert!

Cool to see friends get good press in the paper.

Note also that the government employees are wearing them to work. Eat your heart out, US. Sorry, that was unkind.

My daughter (Medical Physics grad school, McMaster U) recently told me that kilt wearing is catching on with her generation. She tells me it shows that the person is in tune with his masculinity. Gee, we're trend setters.

Great article! Congratulations, Robert. I knew I should quit reading the Star and read the Sun instead, now I know why!

OH yea Robert complain a little more. I mean jeez. I could make 3500 kilts a year too but I have to commute to work. Do you have any idea how much kilt making time I'm forced to waste walking all 311 steps from my house to the shop?
And you don't even have to plug in your sewing machine. If I had all the advantages you do, Oh yea, I'd be pumping out that many kilts too.

OK no more coffee breaks for you unless you do that on your commute...ah I got it! Design a portable sewing machine powered by a bicycle. Then you could sew on your commute to and from work. That ought to get the numbers up.
3500 Steve you just waste too much time you have to be more productive! Those 311 steps count. Start by staying overnight at your shop every second day. .....Oh, ... you do that already uh...hmmm...well just don't go home and work through the night.....you have an obligation....you must make MORE KILTS! The rabble are depending on you!
This is coming from a fellow, sleep deprived, kiltmaker who has 8 steps to take to get to his studio.
