00:08:15 - New Zoomorphic Kilt Pin Collection!

00:10:14 - Is it ok to use a fly plaid that’s slightly smaller weave/weight than the kilt? I have a 14 oz kilt in tartan that’s nowadays woven only on custom order, but is still available as regular order for 10-11 oz fabric. The 10-11 oz cloth is from the same company as the custom weave 13-14 oz (Locharron), so the colors match.

00:15:24 - Are the large loops on the back of a kilt for the belt or the sporran strap?

00:18:30 - What are some activities you can do to mark St Andrew's Day? What distinguishes it from other celebrations like Burns Night or Tartan Day?

00:26:46 - Where to get haggis in the USA. What makes a haggis good?

00:28:41 - Will USA Kilts offer Zoomorphic belt buckles to go with the new zoomorphic kilt pins? Wait Zenomorphic???

00:32:29 - I love absolutely horrendously ugly tartans. If you had to come up with the ugliest, most unsightly tartan possible, what would it look like and who among you could come up with the worst?

00:59:14 - Does anyone else find buying dress slacks tedious and boring. I need at least two new pair of nice slacks for work. I have found pants boring to shop for considering how many tartan options are out there Why would you ever settle for pants when you can wear a kilt?

01:06:36 - Can you mix multiple tartans on one outfit?

01:14:04 - What is the best way to clean a dress sporran with real fur, when someone accidentally splashed a bit of beer on it?

01:24:12 - When hand pleating a great kilt, what is the correct or optimal pleat width?

01:27:27 - Can you make multiple items from one weave of tartan? Eg. kilts and neck ties etc... and what is the best weight to do this with?

01:35:38 - What is the status of the America 250 Commemorative Tartan Collection project? Is there anything you would have done differently knowing what you do now?

01:43:13 - What decorative object would you design a tartan for? That is, taking inspiration from, or honoring some object out in the world?

01:51:29 - Is the kilt market stable, flat, or declining?
