This thread is almost a litany of problems occurring when North Americans have ordered kilts in their own country which have then been made (badly) in Scotland.
Since I expect in the near future to order a kilt from Scotland (through Scotweb) I am wondering whether this will be the best course to follow.
The problem in South Africa is that there are not nearly as many kilt makers around, and the only two I know of deal solely in four-yard kilts. So since my new kilt will be an eight-yarder, it seemed logical to have it made in Scotland.
An additional reason for using a Scottish kilt maker is that my wife does not think my South African kilts are properly made, and I want to be able to say: “This is the way my kilt was made in Scotland.”
Do our resident experts have any advice for me?
Regards,
Mike
