It is always gratifying to see someone enjoying a kilt I've made for them when out and about at a Scottish festival.  Here is a weathered MacLeod kilt I made for a young lad being worn at the Stone Mountain Highland Games.

Daniel is showing off his ancient Gunn box pleated kilt.  He says the archery pose is in honor of the Clan Gunn's participation at the Battle of Altgowne in 1585, but I think it is very evocative of the MacQuarrie figure painted by Robert MacIan (shown below the main menu at the left), who is also wearing a box pleated kilt).

The James family all wanted kilts in the Grant Hunting tartan (from the Wilson 1819 Pattern Book -- the usual Grant Hunting tartan is the Black Watch).  The left photo shows them all getting ready for the evening.  The skirt and all the kilts except the second from right are of my make.  In the photo to the right, you can see the box pleats of the kilt worn at a formal even, with matching fly plaid.

Dave is modeling the Ulster tartan.  This is one of my standard box pleated kilts.  Dave is a great customer -- he also ordered a...

Mike is looking good, and enjoying himself in his MacNeil of Bara box pleated kilt.

Jeff is sporting his Fitzsimmons kilt, a tartan he designed and I had woven for him.  Jeff preferred a 5-yard knife pleated kilt to the box pleat, which I was glad to accommodate.

Three different kilts in the same Buchanan tartan.  The one on the left is pleated to the red, the middle one is pleated to the yellow, and the right kilt is pleated to the green.  This demonstrates how you can create very different looking kilts with the same tartan.

The New York City tartan, back and front, pleated to the blue line.  This kilt was originally a four-yard, machine stitched "casual kilt," made by Lochcarron, which I completely rebuilt for my client.

Richard is the owner of the Robertson hunting kilt pictured above.  He writes, " I am
very pleased with this kilt, its quality of construction, fit, comfort, and appearance... In short I am a very satisfied customer."

Dee is the proud owner of this Carolina tartan kilt, custom woven in the authentic colors used by Wilsons of Bannockburn in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries.  Dee writes, "I can assure you this kilt will be worn with pride and appreciation – it’s a work of art. My hat is off to you! Now I understand what folks were saying about a custom tailored wool kilt."

James Brewer and son wearing their new kilts in the Brewer family tartan.  This is a new tartan, commissioned by James and designed by the kilt maker.  It is based on a Drummond sett, as James' Brewer ancestors, from Perthshire, were part of the Drummond clan.
