Keltoi Updates?

[MJB]

Has anyone heard from John Hart of Keltoi?

I've come across a couple of threads where it seems he has gone missing (sick) for periods of time. Last it seems was around this time last year.

I was curious if anyone has been in touch with him, I am starting to get concerned. I am getting married in June and was hoping to have him make me another kilt; we've already started the process as I am waiting to see some swatches he has so I can pick a tartan (which the entire wedding theme will be based on, so is kind of putting a lot of whats left on hold - fiance starting to get a little upset).

Anyways, we were talking fairly frequently up until Feb 16th, then I didn't hear anything until Feb 24th and he mentioned he had some oral surgery that was taking longer to recover from than expected. I've sent a few emails since to ask some questions / check to see if he's okay, but haven't heard anything.

I'm concerned for his well-being, and the delay is adding a lot of extra stress on the wedding plans. I've had John make me a kilt in the past, and have met with him. He is a great guy, and does very good work, I would very much like to stick with him if possible.

TLDR; John Hart of Keltoi seems to be MIA, has anyone heard from him or has a way of getting in touch with him to ensure all is okay?

I'm in a similar situation I had an issue with a kilt he made for me a few years ago a Kingussie that I love. I contacted John and said to ship it to him and he would repair it,but I haven't heard anything since it's probably been a month now.

I too have lost contact with John for many months. I note that he's no longer an advertiser here, and he doesn't respond to his telephone. His website has not be updated for a long time.

As others have said, he's one of the very best kiltmakers around, very knowledgeable, and a great guy and friend. I too worry for his wellbeing.

This is a bit worrying, I've been thinking about it a bit lately, as I hadn't heard any updates.

Anything more on John/Keltoi?

I had a kilt ordered in cloth that is now a special order and am in the same boat as others.....

Hope he's doing well but I'm glad I ended up going with a different kilt maker. Love the two he made for me and would have loved another.
There had been a change in his que two months or so ago but not since.
