Question for the Kiltmakers on the Forum

[sydnie7]

One of the best things a potential kilt buyer can purchase beforehand is a copy of Barb's book The Art of Kiltmaking. Even if you never put needle to fabric yourself, knowing how they are put together will help you make the type of purchase decision you describe.

Furthermore, he should hie himself up to Franklin, where he can get the book from Matt and his merry crew, get measured by an expert, and order a kilt and as many goodies as his bank balance will allow.

Hear, hear!

The Art of Kiltmaking, I think, is invaluable for any kiltwearer or kiltwatcher.

There's a wonderful section with clear photos showing all the things to look for in a well made kilt, and all the various errors that can be made in a kilt.

I've never looked at a kilt the same, since I read that book.
