And the same is absolutely true of the kilts that I am teaching the students in the traditional class to make. The very first kilt I ever made 22 years ago is still going strong as a competitive dancer's kilt, and that's because of how it's constructed. Yes, it's constructed differently from the kilts that Steve makes, but there isn't one right way to make a good-looking, long-lasting kilt.
I want my kilts to last a long time, to retain their looks and fit for many wearings and in many activities.
Well, so do I. Why would any kiltmaker want to make a garment just for people to pose for pictures in?? That's why I teach students to put all the interior construction into any kilt they make.
