OK folks, decided it was time to put this question to you all (that's y'all, to our southern cousins ). Call it market research, 'cause if you guys don't know, nobody will.

I am seriously considering going into the biz. In this part of the country, there is only one kiltmaker that I know of, up in Cape Breton. Now, I'm looking at only making hand-sewn, traditionally-cut, wool kilts and kilted skirts. Especially solid colours, although tartans would be part of it. Hand sewn sporrans and garter ties (fingerwoven). Possibly jackets. Handknit hose.

Where I live, I can get some good tax breaks, initially at least. There will be no overhead, so prices will be very low in comparison to most.

So, is there a call, especially for the solids? Or, am I just in a working rut (even though I already work from home, in marketing)?

Hit me hard, 'cause it could be a big step.
