A friend of mine is a garment manufacturer.
His company has just submitted their bid to make
the Utilikilts. It’s quite ironic that he would now be making Kilts.
It was his interest that got me to go to my first Highland games at Grandfather Mountain, NC. Not long after the games he
decided to make is own kilt.
It was a traditional kilt in 16oz ancient Crawford tartan. I got my Wallace kilt from a local kilt maker after I saw Jeff's.

He was quite leery of making the Utilikilts since
he knew how much work went into making is own.
Jeff spent months redoing the pleating to get it correct.

The Utilikilts are quite nice and look great. I may look at investing in one myself to use for hiking.

Best of luck with them,

Nelson
