why do they make kilts?

Why do I make Kilts?

'Cause I like to. It's fun and challenging. I get to meet some really great people. Because all you out there will wear as many as I can make and that puts food on my table.

I'm just a little custom kilt shop. I'll never pump out as many as the UK company and don't want to. But I know personally everyone who owns one of my kilts. That means I have friends all over the world. And one day I'm gonna knock on each one of your doors and invite you to have a pint with me.

This little world of ours and our kilts is the best, friendliest, and most satisfying I have ever found and I hope in some small way I have helped to make it better.

"Jumping on my soapbox" I make KILTS! I'll leave it to Steven V. to make MUGS! "stepping down now"

If you're ever in SC, I know of an excellent little pub that brews a lot of their own beers. Oh, and the museum isn't much, but it is a nice way to spend a few hours.

My door awaits knocking.

Well, I'm glad to see that my experience was not typical. That makes me feel much better about the condition of the world.

I was disappointed, however, in that I wasn't asked to pose for a picture even once. I know I'm an old fart, but dang!

Well, at least we do WEAR them, KT, and don't tuck them away for special occasions!!

It would seem that both the providers of traditional Scottish garb in GB and the makers of the modern variety elsewhere have been working to fill people’s cupboards rather than the streets or other public places.

Unfortunately I think that the problem is that the first time kilt wearer generally is doing it at his wedding, hence he can not see himself wearing the kilt everyday, it becomes something special.

Another possibility is the fact that the general public can be ignorant and harsh, some people cant deal with the enevitable, and sometimes negative comments, the qestions etc... it takes a certain type of person to fly in the face of convention and wear a kilt on a daily basis, alot of people cant do it.

I think if this is ever going to change it will take people like us to show others that going kilted is nothing to be afraid of.

There may be enough business right here to keep many of them in business.
