Kilt Maker Disappointment

[Abax]

I wonder if what you're describing is related to a cultural difference.

It's a little different in the eastern U. S., but in my city, the oldest building is about 60 years old. There is no long history of tradition here. But I suspect that kilt makers in the U. S. are apt to be influenced by the traditions passed on by their teachers or by the culture from which kilts originate. Lots of old buildings and traditions over there.

In the United States, we are used to asking and expecting vendors to do things our way. Perhaps somebody from the U. K. can say if that same expectation exists over there (in general) or when dealing with kilt makers.
