    Good article! Very matter of fact, no hint of "why would anyone wear a kilt?" goofiness. I myself (along with Heathbar) have been interviewed by the Nashville, TN paper for an article on kilts and those who wear them. Hope (if the article happens) that they too will skip the goofiness angle.

    Small but cozy! Is that how they described your shop? I've got more room in my leather RKilt than you have in your shop! The view, however, out your front door is truly stunning. I will one day kayak the Avon river. KiltedSurveyor is correct, it is a well written article, one without the seemingly obligatory reference to a kilt being a skirt. I surprised that they didn't actually print a picture of me kilted rather than you because I am waaay more better looking.

    The photo shoot was a last minute thing. It would've taken you too long to get here...and I don't think the community is really prepared for a chicken sporran

    Very nice article and very supportive of what you are doing. As others have said, so nice to see an intelligent outlook on kilts. Have you managed to get Mike Holmes into one yet?
