Anybody have any information on him? An internet search reveals little except that he writes for thetyee.ca sometimes.

I thought I had read an article about him in Vancouver Magazine about a year ago. I tried to find contact information, but had no luck. If you you get any information about contact details, quality, prices, etc...please post it here or PM me. I would be very interested in seeing the work of more of our local kiltmakers.

I'll have a look at my wife's friend's kilt. If I like it, I'll ask this Rob MacDonald to make my XMarks kilt. (I just sent Steve the cheque for run 2b of the tartan.)

I have a phone number but have not contacted him. PM me if you want the number.

Hi Ron

I'm not meaning to be intrusive, and Colin has forgotten more than I'll ever know. However, you don't mean David McDonald, do you? I'm guessing not, but thought it was worth a shot. His website is here Please disregard this if it's not who you're after.

No, StoneCold. The guy I am asking about is the topic of this article:

and the author of this one:

Thanks for the suggestion, though.

Hey Don,
The guy I was refering to was in this issue of Vancouver Magazine

I have met David MacDonald several times and even had a Canada Kilt for awhile.

Ron, I will see how your kilt turns out first. I am in no rush for another one right now, but will keep it in mind and as a reference for the future and for others.
