I have no experience with him, but I just went to his website...
Speaking not as a kiltmaker, but as a someone who likes shopping on-line, I generally choose NOT to order anything from a website that automatically plays music and has needless animated graphics on it. Just a personal pet peeve.
Speaking as a kiltmaker and a retailer in tartan, I find this statement utterly flabbergasting:
"Keep in mind that true Tartans start at $65 dollars a yard to $250 dollars a yard. Each Kilt is made of 9 yards of fabric."
$250/yd??? really??? The most expensive tartan cloth we sell at the museum shop is $95/yd and that is retail cost. One would think a professional kiltmaker would be ordering his cloth wholesale. Elsewhere on his site he states that his kilts range in cost "between $585 to $2250 dollars." Wow. :-(
Would you pay over two grand for a kilt made by the person responsible for this statement?
"Tartans are weave with Highlander wool, which comes from sheep that only graze on grass and there wool is very soft. It is not like what we have here in the US where your wools are heavy and itch."
