BC Lower Mainland kiltmaker question

[ronstew]

I have a friend with one of Robert MacDonald's kilts, and he is very happy with it.

Another source is David MacDonald: canadakilt.com I know nothing about him.

A little further afield is Sadie Livingston: scottishdesign.net Feisty older Scottish lady in Chemainus, on the Island.

Colin has a Canada Kilt. Canada kilts are made in Pakistan and tailor to buyers' measurements.

[Mr. Kilt]

Thanks guys! I'll forward the links to him. I sent him the link to this forum last night. Hopefully he decides to join up!

Colin had a Canada Kilt.

If this guy is looking for a kilt in the Innes tartan, than I would also suggest Robert at www.westcostkilts.com as he will be making my next kilt.

As Ronstew suggested www.scottishdesign.net is another possiblity (they are always at the loacl games). However the biggest two vendors to get a kilt made are Tartantown in Coquitlam (yeah Coquitlam!!) www.tartantown.com and House of MacLaren in Vancouver http://www.geocities.com/houseofmclaren/

Correct me if I am wrong, Colin, but Tartantown and House of MacLaren take measurements, and then send the order to Scotland for the actual kilt making.

[Colin]

Ron, you are correct. I believe they may do some work in store, but I would think they have the biggest number of sales (especially tartantown) in the Lower Mainland so that is why I included them.

My wife met a lady the other day out of the blue that is a kiltmaker in Maple Ridge. My wife said the work was very impressive. I will see if I can get more info.

Maple Ridge, eh? Please do keep us informed on that one.

I believe Tartantown and House of MacLaren send their measurements to Burnet & Struthes in Barre, ON.

Indeed, Maple Ridge is a nice place and close to my "usual" stomping grounds of Mission (a couple of times a year).


CT - the more the merrier (you marry 'er you brought 'er !!!! )

Will Do. I actually thought of you when I heard about this kiltmaker. Apparently she is in the Wonnock area, so fairly close to you (and Mission in the other direction CT ).
