The Kilt in Crisis

[Tobus]

I just spoke on the phone with one of the individuals interviewed for the article and he says that the number of kilt makers mentioned is an estimate from someone of the number of kilt makers who were trained in the traditional methods via an apprenticeship. It was not meant to be suggested that there were only 10 kilt makers in Scotland in total. However, the wording in the article, either through the fault of the writer or the editor, did not reflect that. The wording used was something like "only 10 authentic kilt makers left" which would of course get some hackles up.

See, this is why I love this board! We have good connections to the industry here. Thank you, Matt, for doing that.
