Saturday at Hamilton, Canuck and I had a lively conversation with gentleman about kilts and kiltmaking, and you could almost see the steam come out of this guy's ears when Canuck said he was self-taught, and hadn't apprenticed under anyone. Bad enough to be using solid-color, non-woolen fabrics, and to be putting on pockets, but to be self-taught - that was just wrong (this fellow's thinking, not mine).
