Personally, I wouldn't take the job even if they paid me the full cost of a new kilt!!!
It's actually his personal kilt. I made his band kilt myself so it fits properly. I see what you mean, though. When I did the rebuild I was thinking that it was a good thing it was a family thing or I might not have done it either!

I have contacted him requesting more photos. Hopefully he gets back with me soon.

Many thanks.
