this ain't no Blip!
Popularity of nontartan kilts is growing every day. Here's 2 points to ponder:
1- we've never been busier.
2 - there are way more kiltmakers to choose from than when we launched AmeriKilt Co almost 2 years ago - I'm sure each is busy too. (right, fellas?)
When I look at a list af all the North American kiltmakers I put Steven Villegas and Megan Haas at the top of the heap in terms of creating a culture around the kilt. He may not have been the first to offer a non-tartan but he's certainly created a highly regarded garment and brand. I don't consider AmeriKilts as part of the "Utility Kilt" catagory - we consider ourselves makers of "casual American kilts" - meaning a design inspired by the "traditional" kilt and no tartans - just solid colors and the occasional textured fabric.
The future looks bright for kilt makers and wearers. Competition and innovation will see to it.
