    I'm curious if you have, or have considered, a kilt in McIntyre ?

    By the way, I'm new here, I don't see an pics that other posters are 'drooling' over-did I miss something?
    thanks

    To answer WV Piper's question, no, Kathy Lare, and other members of the Traditional Kiltmakers Guild only make "tanks." They leave the 4 yard kilts to others as Barb mentioned.

    They are more craftsmen than businessmen if that makes any sense...specializing in one thing as many other hand sewn kiltmakers do...like, I don't know if it'd even be wise to ask Robert MacDonald in Vancouver that question.

    Kathy Lare's box pleats are the traditional military style box pleats - much different than the type Matt and Barb offer.
