    cloves,

    It doesn't seem strange at all. We here at XMTS have a very real and detailed appreciation of what goes into making a quality kilt. Many talk about tartan patterns and quality of materials but we know that it is the kilt maker that makes all the difference. Put it another way.

    Which you prefer?

    A kilt made from the best quality 16 oz. strome weight wool from your favorite mill in your favorite tartan, but made by a very poor kilt maker?*

    Or

    A kilt made out of material from a fabric store's bargin bin, but made by Matt Newsome, Barb T. , Steve Ashton, or Rocky?

    I bet that everyone who is a regular reader of XMTS would choose the second option without much thought at all.

    Cheers

    Jamie


    * And NO you can't choose this one and have it remade by someone else!!!
