But Colin, could it be that Chris was thinking of (Robert) R-Kilts, (Terry) BearKilts and (Steve) Freedom Kilts - the only Canadian kiltmakers I know personally. All these fine gentlemen, located in Canada, have designed and now tailor kilts, but not Scottish kilts. Theirs are quite different, and I would venture to call them Canadian kilts. In fact that is just what I do when I am asked about them! "This is a Canadain kilt", I say, in the same way that I describe my Utilikilts, USA Kilt and Amerikilts as "American kilts"; my Cornish National as a "Cornish kilt"; my Brithwe Dewi Sant as a "Welsh kilt" and my two Brittany tartans as "Breton kilts"!!
