00:12:59 What are a few of your favorite Christmas-y tartans?

00:18:15 How can you soften the leather on a sporran?

00:21:11 Matt Horne - What is the durability difference between standard tartan fabric and tweed tartan fabric? Will the tweed get ‘worn’ faster than standard fabric? I know that each mills’ tartan and tweed fabric are different, but is there a general consensus on lifespan, assuming the fabric is taken care of similarly?

00:00:01

00:28:34 What casual wear jackets can you wear with a kilt that are NOT a bomber jacket?

00:33:01 Attending my first burns night next month and would love to dress formal. Money is tight so I'm looking at a semi traditional kilt. Would a Prince Charlie look ok or would that be a bit much? How formal could one go with the semi traditional?

00:37:17 If you wanted to design a tartan, could you take the sett size and thread count of an existing clan tartan and just change the colors?

00:42:45 What's the best way to get kilt-related gifts for Christmas?

00:49:21 A USA Kilts logo kilt pin and/or cap badge?

00:52:41 Is there such a thing as a women's sporran?

00:57:16 Kilt Ambassador of the Month

01:00:07 Would you Entertain Different color leather straps for 5-yard wool and 8-yard wool kilts such as tan, brown and purple?

01:07:40 What style of kilt jacket would you wear to a formal Junior Prom?

01:11:24 What classic Christmas movies would be better if the main character was Scottish?

01:18:49 Best way to store a great kilt that keeps the moths away?

01:22:14 I have a question about the pipers-dress-hunting-sporran. I am confused- for what occasions would one wear this sporran? With a PC jacket? With an Argyll jacket during the evening? Both? Neither? I'm interested in the Rocky-level answer on this because my research on XMarks etc. has made me confused. Some people say these are weird and shouldn't be worn, others say they are formal, others say they are only for day wear. I'm so confused, I just know that I really like it and want to wear it in the most appropriate manner possible. Thanks for your time!

01:28:28 What is the best way to preserve and display a vintage British military sporran?

01:35:29 I’m thinking of getting a tweed vest to go along with my kilt that I’m having made, and I’d love some color recommendations. The tartan will be a MacInnes Hunting Ancient. I really like the look of the Mocha Reeve herringbone from Martin Mills, but don’t know if the darkness of the brown would look odd with it. Any thoughts? I could also go with a charcoal or something as well.

01:42:44 Is knife pleating on a great kilt modern or traditional?

01:45:40 Curious about washing a PV semi-traditional kilt in a washing machine. How do you keep the buckles from damaging the tub? How do you protect the straps? Just curious about the actual logistics of the "washable" kilt: prep, actual washing, and drying.

01:52:17 Will the Pacific Northwest tartan still be available in January 2025?

01:56:29 This group is obviously a bit skewed towards people who like kilts, but from an industry standpoint in both the US and Scotland do you see the demand for kilts growing or declining and is there a difference between the two geographies when you are speaking to industry colleagues?
