I'm not sure if some of the comments following mine were directed at me but I'll answer them anyway.

Please note that I never said that a Master Kiltmaker was a school teacher and nothing else. I never said that a Master Kiltmaker no longer would make Kilts.

I also never made a requirement of the term "Master Kiltmaker" as it applies to the world today.

We no longer live with the Guild system even though there are still guilds.
Today they way of being certified to do something is different and you don't have to apprentice to be an operating Kiltmaker or open a shop or even call your self a Master Kiltmaker.

In fact currently there is no board, organization or school where one can go to earn the title "Master Kiltmaker". Even the Keith School only gives you a piece of paper saying "Traditional Handcraft Kilt Manufacturer".

So, please, read my words and don't read into them. I was simply explaining how things used to be in what I thought was a simple and understandable manner.

And as a side note... Paul Revere was a master silversmith because he did run a school. It was his shop, he took in apprentice craftsman and no matter who actually did the work it carried his name. And he was certified by the Silversmiths Guild to do so.
No, he did not just teach a classroom, sit-down school but those who worked for him were learning their craft from him.
That is what I was trying to get across.

Today you don't go through the whole apprentice, journeyman, master process for each and every trade. For example to become a Master Locksmith you simply have to go to a school that awards that certificate.
Today's system is different.

So, today if someone wishes to buy and rip apart a Utilikilt, buy a machine, some fabric and call themselves a Master Kiltmaker, there is no one to stop them. Remember, there are no such things as Kilt Kops. Just people who get prickley at something someone else says.
