Pittsburgh Kilts

[davedove]

I wish Jeff all the best. It is a shame though as he made a quality product. As ByDand brought up, Jeff made some unique products, like the two tone kilt, and it would be great if another kiltmaker could pick up those concepts.

I just heard back from Jeff (sent him and email yesterday) and he's out for good. He was a stand up guy with a quality product. He'll be missed.

I wish him continued success in his REAL money making IT job... and I thanked him for the kind words and link.

Jeff didn't just make two tone kilts....he did a "three tone" kilt for me.

Asked if he could make something along the lines of the Arizona State Flag.



He did an incredible job coming up with a beautiful royal blue kilt with alternating gold and red underpleats.



Its a BIG loss of a man willing to do custom kilt work who was also VERY good at it. Wish him success.

If the pics don't show for you they're on page one of my gallery.

HUGE loss even. I was really looking forward to his coming back. All the best with your future endeavors Jeff.

I hated to see Jeff get out of the kilt business. I never got a chance to buy one. I've used some of the kilt building instructions he left us in my recent creation. Does anyone know if he had any fabric left over?

Those look to be very interesting kilts, as the combination of the heavy material for the outer strip and then a lighter weight inner pleat resolves some of the problems with sewing all the layers, and the bulk when using a sturdy cotton for the whole pleat.

Yes - I think that kiltmaking has lost a gem.

Jeff, I don't think any one of us would ask you to give up a lucrative job and come back to kiltmaking at the expense of your family. Most of us know what a sacrifice it is to make quality kilts at affordable prices but I hope you are reading this thread - and know that you are appreciated.

When you look around at this group and what's been said - that is high praise indeed.

Guid oin ya and good luck!

I am in just the same boat, but it is entirely my own fault. I wanted one of his two-tone kilts and so Jeff sent me links so that I might make my selection from the illustrated samples. The trouble is: I just have not been able to make up my mind which two colours to select.

Now it's too late, and my 'Kilt Kollection' is lacking a Pittsburgh Kilt!

Maybe Jeff could make a Hamish Kilt as a grand finale. A matter of historical importance to be represented in the Kilt Kollection and all that.
