Show Pics of Your Favorite Kilt Makers Work

[denmcdough]

Well, I'm sitting home recovering from eye surgery, and I'm bored stiff, seeing that I can't be active for a week. So, I was thinking what to post here, and I thought that getting pictures from the rabble on their favorite kilt makers would be fun.

I know Riverkilt speaks extensively about USA Kilts and Cathy Lare. And, I've heard a lot about Barb T., Matt Newsome, etc. My go-to kilt makers, which are two, and on the east coast: Wally Catanch is an engineering prof at Penn State, and Bonnie Heather Greens is located in NY, above the Big Apple. Also, Reid Kilts of Scotland. So, here are a few pics from them.


Wally Catanach's beautiful, hand-stitched work


Again, Wally's craftsmanship

My master kiltmaker is Paul Henry who, incidently, has a magic way of making each of his kilts unique and individual.

Here are a couple of bad telephone camera photos of the Tank that he made for me:

John Hart of Kitchener is the artisan of my 8 yard Lamont tartan kilt, pleated to the stripe. I love it! I think it looks smashing and the workmanship is first-rate. Here are some photos I posted when I first received it. http://www.xmarksthescot.com/forum/f...rn-kilt-78860/

I haved a number of kilts, not all of which are bespoke but of those that are, my favourite Kilt Maker is Carol Ellis (formerly Carol Fitzherbert). She's a very talented lady and I have a few of her creations.

I do like your Northumbrian Check EB!

I have only one kilt. I took my time choosing my kiltmaker and IMHO made the best choice possible. If I do ever feel the need for kilt number two - Red Robertson in Noble's regimental weight, if I can find some! - I would look no further than Paul Henry:

At the risk of this thread becoming somewhat repetitive some more pics of the genius work of someone who I now consider to be my friend -

Grizzly,

Just because Paul chose not to be an advertiser here does not diminish his fine work at all. You all have the right to be proud of your kilts.

[Grizzly]

Well said Steve, I consider you both to be friends as I have met both of you in person and from my perspective I couldn't wish to meet two nicer people.
