I understand. Thanks for the quick response.

While it is doubtful I would ever sew a kilt, I believe understanding the hows and whys of kiltmaking, makes for a better informed buyer, which helps the kiltmaking industry to maintain high standards and quality products.

We all win. Kiltmakers, buyers, and in my case, my children and grandchildren who are already talking about who gets my kilts,......when I'm gone.
