    Only if the person making the kilt has read, memorized, and follows word for word Barbara Tewksbury's "The Art of Kiltmaking"

    On second thought, we have Wally and Barb right here, so probably not.

    Unless they had made a kilt before, I wouldn't trust them to make it properly.

    I'm not knocking their sewing skills; I had a hand-made silk suit made for me when I was in Okinawa and it was a work of art but a kilt is another animal entirely. Besides, the money spent would likely be comparable to what you would spend getting it done by a "real" kiltmaker.
