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 If so its still there, just somewhat outdated.

No there used to be a feature where you could locate kilt makers/sellers by state.

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.

Really all you would need is a stickied post with a list, which could be edited to add or subtract when the need arises.

The reason I specifically mentioned contemporary kilts is because it's a relatively new phenomenon, and their are a lot of businesses popping up to take advantage of the new market.

But yes, having a list of all of them would be good.

Honestly I don't think it would take much effort. it's not like it would change on a daily basis.

And I don't think it would be a problem for sponsors either, as having a name on a list is in no way comparable to having ads on every page, and possibly more detailed information on the list.

You could do that but I think you would be better off with a database that can be searched by several criteria.

I can't see where a list would be a problem for the sponsors. It would be easy to make sure the sponsors were noted and their listing could include extra info as well. The big thing is it needs the OK of the mods and someone to tackle the project. I would be interested in doing it, but not until after the new year. Catering is too busy this time of year.

Still no reviews on this kilt maker... I'm starting to wonder.

I don't think there is anything to wonder about. From what Turpin says he's a one-man shop making modern kilts while going to school. Not surprising that no one has posted a review.

I agree with you, Jake. I sent an email to Gardner since Turpin said he thought he was living in Fredericksburg, VA, my stomping grounds. Gardner replied he was actually in Richmond, a little south of me. He is going to school picking up some cash on the side in making kilts. Seems Turpin is happy with his kilt. Right now, seems Durakilt is out of most of its kilt material, but judging from the the website it's an interesting offering.

I went wilth a Buzz Kidder this week but if Durakilt had the putty material I may have gone with them. Maybe next time, I may go for the desert MARPAT. I hope Gardner joins the madness and becomes a member of the fourm.

Correction: I don't own one of his but I've inspected two at the GMHG and they seemed well-made and the owner (a piper) was very satisfied.

Ya, I was hoping one person somewhere had one. I've come full circle once again though, and absolutely love my BK kacki. I'm sure it will be different tomorrow.

Probably explains why I haven't heard from him. I sent him a couple of emails expressing interest but there has been no reply yet.
