Falling markets and the effect/affect to the kilt.

[Jack Daw]

I'm really hesitant to say this because I split my life between Scotland and Canada, but I have to say: buy the tartan fabric in Scotland and have your kilt made by the best kilt-maker you can find in your own country.

In other words, buy the highest quality raw material and retain talented craftspeople to make your kilt. The result will be support for the best mills in Scotland (and a guarantee of fine fabric for the future), and local artesans will soon have apprentices for our kilts yet to come.
