Kiltmaker to the Stars on TV
Did multiple searches and didn't find anything - hope its not duplicate.
Was just watching Current, a TV channel that had a program called Unseen UK and as one of the features was a visit to Geoffrey (Tailor) Kiltmaker.
Pretty fast paced, and showed mostly the modern kilts Howie is famous for.
Howie was called "Kiltmaker to the Stars" Told his blood runs plaid.
Howie pointed out that kilts were great for driving because driving kilted "crushes your nuts."
Most interesting, Howie told the story of how his family got into the kiltmaking business. He said his grandfather was stationed in Scotland with the Royal Air Force during WW2. His grandmother was stationed nearby as a WREN. He was the only Jewish member of the RAF in the area and she was the only Jewish WREN in the area. They met and married.
After the war she taught him kiltmaking and they opened a kiltmaking business which is now three generations old.
So, if you get Current tv check for the Unseen UK program with Max and Jason and see if the Kiltmaker visit is listed in the program specifics.
