Hey Jeremy,

Please DON'T wear your Wool MacKinlay to the machine shop! I REALLY don't feel like trying to darn any holes in it.

While I know little about the Scotish Lion's canvas kilts, have you checked out Steve at Freedom Kilts? He's a bit more traditional (wider apron, deeper pleats, etc) than your UK and from what I've heard makes a great product. You may also want to check out Pittsburgh kilts... he's gotten a lot of positive comments on XMARKS.
