To answer WV Piper's question, no, Kathy Lare, and other members of the Traditional Kiltmakers Guild only make "tanks." They leave the 4 yard kilts to others as Barb mentioned.
They are more craftsmen than businessmen if that makes any sense...specializing in one thing as many other hand sewn kiltmakers do...like, I don't know if it'd even be wise to ask Robert MacDonald in Vancouver that question.
Kathy Lare's box pleats are the traditional military style box pleats - much different than the type Matt and Barb offer.
