    A few minutes with ... a man and his wee kilt

    A great article from last week's Detroit Free Press.

    A the beginning of the article, Jim the author, doesn't seem to get the vernacular of a Kilt, and calls it "...making a skirt...", slow learner, but he seems to get the idea toward the end of the article......

    At the end of the article:

    Q: "OK. ... Any thing else you want to say?"

    A: "Sometimes I get tired of looking at pleats."

    Too bad they didn't give his contact information. It would be cool to get a Keith ancient made by an ancient Keith (Harvey is a sept of Keith)

    Beat me to it, NorseCelt.

    He's really expensive and haven't seen very many pics. His kilts, what little I've seen, look pretty good. He has a shop, too.

    Thanks guys. I was worried about the facebook post, since I don't have a facebook account.
    Norse fixed that. I checked out the website, and he is about right for handmade kilts. Still it is more than I'm able to spend at this time. I should be in Michigan again in a couple of years to visit family. Maybe I can find time to visit with Angus and talk him into a 'family' discount.

    That's not too far from where I grew up and yet, I have never heard of him. Kind of wish I had!
