Durakilt

I've never seen one, but the grommets for the kilt pin isn't a bad idea. I've had a kilt pin rip a kilt before.

I made a kilt this past spring using the book "The Art of Kiltmaking" out of 10 oz khaki duck canvas and I used the double D-ring for the belts. His looks really good and are larger. I just wish now that I had used a larger size, they work well but at times can be difficult to loosen to undo it.

What does that have to do with the topic?

I think if I plan to get another Buzz Kidder next year, I might go for one of these. More options.

Interesting. I like some of their ideas. I just wish the sporran was optional as well, since I'd rather have the pockets and save $10-20 on something I'd never use.

It seems like every 2 weeks (give or take) I find out about another contemporary kilt maker I'd never heard of, or a company making their own non-traditional style of kilt. It'd be nice if we had a stickied topic with a list of all known contemporary and non-traditional kiltmakers. Just a thought.

You just never know if these new makers are going to be around long. I know I wouldn't buy a kilt unless I've read a bunch of reviews on this forum, so maybe it would be a good sub thread

Actually it would be nice if we kept a list of all known kilt makers period. The only way it would work though is if someone took on the project so that it stayed up to date, "Keeper of the Official Kiltmaker List" or some such title. This way we would have a way of combing out the ones who are no longer in business. Might be something for the moderators to talk about.

Once upon a time there was such a thing here, but I think it disappeared when there started being sponsors of the site.

Is this the one you were thinking of, Adam? If so its still there, just somewhat outdated.

Best regards,

Gotta love the quote on their website:

"KILT W/ MATCHING SPORRAN $130.00 BASE PRICE
DETACHABLE POCKETS $ 30.00 EACH
ONE INCH PLEATS $ 40.00 MORE

FREAKIN OUT THE BOSS
AT THE XMAS PARTY PRICELESS"

CLEVER!
