Like I keep saying, you don't do anything second rate. If that video had been up when I ordered, I could have saved the ferry fare! GREAT JOB!

Awesome video. It's always great to put a voice to face.

Really neat video - and good, clear explanations for how to measure. I like it, and it makes me too want to order, and would give me a lot of confidence that I'd got the measuring right (but sadly I have to wait for a paycheck or two). It's good that you point out how your measuring system differs from others.
If you're going to go the video route on your web-site, and do it to this quality, could I resepctfully suggest that you also:
a) Do a companion on how to measure for a shirt
b) Do a 'demonstrater' video showing the different kilt styles/models you offer, highlighting the differences/choices/options.
Best regards

As being part of a somewhat confusing thread on how to properly measure for a kilt, this video goes far in clearing up any confusion. I shall be following your guide when measuring for my CCK (sorry) but will eventually follow your guide for when I finally order my Freedom Kilt. I fully believe that your future customers will greatly appreciate your tips and this tool.

Wow Steve, you don't want much do you. This little 9 min video cost me $250.00 so far and I haven't even hosted it yet.
I was interested to see how bad the quality would get degraded on a public hosting site and what everyone would say about how things were explained.
Let me get this one up and working with the new and improved web site. The next step will be a video of the different models and how they compare to each other.

Grant,
No problem not using my system for a CCK Kilt. I have always told people,,"Follow exactly, the directions of your kiltmaker."
No one else uses my system. That's why I needed to clarify it.
