........and hamish."Howie IS the expert "???
I think I seen someplace that he took a crash course in kilt making, not sayin he don't do a good job, I have a TFCK, and love it,but expert?
It is true, Phil, that Howie did not undergo all the years of apprenticeship that the more experienced kiltmakers 'suffer'. However, he is not himself a 'kiltmaker' - he does not make the kilts himself. The Geoffrey (Tailor) Company has a workroom full of expert kiltmakers, and they have kiltmaking outworkers, people who do nothing else but make our kilts. Howie is a Manager, a designer, an ideas man, a salesman who has lived amongst kilts all his life - as did his father before him. It's a family business; they're all heavily involved - Father (Geoffrey), Mother (Lorna), Sister (Emma) and Howie.

Howie's experience alone makes him an expert; he knows just about all there is to know when it comes to 'The Kilt'.

Apart from that he's a darned nice chap!!!!!
