Hey I don't think I said that! I'm not cutting down anyone who only wears a kilt every once in a while. That's the way I used to be! Thankfully, I am now in a position to be able to wear the kilt everyday.

I do think that experience is a great teacher. I also think that I have had some little more experience, by wearing the kilt daily, than do some others.

If you will look at the closets of two of our most respected members, mainly Ron and Hamish, you will find several non-traditional kilts. In Ron’s case he has been very vocal in his appreciation of the USA products. Hamish has gone so far as to make a video for another product. These men own way more kilts than I do, and they have been wearing the kilt longer.

I guess my resentment is still smoldering from hoping to work with a local kilt maker (female) who had never worn a kilt on a daily basis, but just knew that her opinions were better than mine.

If I seemed to be degrading those who only wear the kilt once or twice, please forgive me.

What I was trying to say is that when you wear the kilt everyday, your very wear will form opinions.

Let’s go back to that old pair of jeans. Is every pair of jeans made the same way? Does every pair of jeans still look like the first pair that were worn by coal miners? No! You can go into a store and find jeans of many cuts, fabrics, and styles. You pick the pair that fits your needs. Sometimes some of the highhanded kiltmakers – who themselves don’t wear the kilt – seem to think that they know best.
