The Art of Kiltmaking

[ForresterModern]

OK, about time for Barb T to plug her book (with Elsie S of course).

Hey Barb, how can we get a hold of a copy, how much does it cost, how much shipping, and will you autograph it before sending it?

I think after 11 bought kilts, with a few more in order, I ought to know more about how the dang things are made myself, so I can better recognize quality workmanship and design. Also I may need to delve into kiltmaking in a minor way, as my son has outgrown his infant kilt, and seeing the prices of those things (they are almost as expensive as a full adult kilt) I think I should at least see if I can make one as a winter project for my boy. In another thread I posted how I try to learn something, some new skill, each year---well this may be the year of learning kiltmaking for me. Kiltmakers have no fear---I am no threat to anybody's livelihood---only to myself. Wife wants to know when I had my last tetanus shot.

Thanks Hiker. Unfortunately went to the web page and found out that they are closed for business until about the 23rd of January, but did discover that the book is available for the same price from Matt at Scottish Tartans Museum.

Hi guys

Sorry I missed this thread until now - I've been in Egypt for the past couple of weeks (work, not play), and that's why I can't send out books until the end of Jan. But Matt Newsome will happily sell you a copy, as will Celtic Croft.

If you ever want a book autographed, just pop me an email at the celtdrgn@borg.com address (Celtic Dragon Press is me - the "company" is very much a one-trick pony...) after you place the order, and I'll peel off the shrink wrap and sign it for you before I ship it to you.

And thank you for all the wonderful and kind words about the book. It means a lot to me that all y'all find it useful.

Yup, we have plenty in stock right now. Barb made sure she sent me a new batch before she went to Egypt. You can order here:

It's about 1/2 way down the page.
