- Okay - playtime's over and it's past high time for me to get back to what I'm paid for...
A gentleman asked for a 'Seaforth' kilt made to the regimental standards in MOST aspects, but to be 'knife' rather than 'box' pleated.
This is the "Seaforth Highlanders of Canada 1910" sett that I developed, based on a soldier's fly plaid dated ~1909.

That chap is quite lucky….The cloth looks AWESOME!
Thank you so much for all that work to preserve something so historically important
Ya nice tartan. But 79th will always be the best looking guys in town.
🙃
Ser Davos would be proud.
The 'Weathered' or faded Seaforth cloth is very nice. Can one order the Seaforth Centennial tartan cloth if they wanted to make their own kilt? Does one need to get your permission to do so?
yes one may - I didn't place any restrictions upon it after I designed it, & I'm just happy to see it being worn!
Is the Seaforth centennial open for weaving for anyone? I know a Seaforth highlander that served in 1958-1961 and that would make a wonderful gift for them.
it is, yes - I didn't place any restrictions on it when I designed it, but you'll only find it at DC Dalgliesh Ltd.
I bought a military kilt at auction in Inverness many years ago and recognise it as a Seaforth Highlander kilt but instead of a white (buff) sett it is yellow and red? I'm not sure if this is WW1 or WW2? Is it perhaps a piper's kilt? Would love if you could give me any information on this difference.
"Yellow and Red"....that sounds more like the Hunting Stewart as worn by the pipers of the Royal Scots and all ranks of the Canadian Scottish Regiment. do the lines on the pleats alternate red/Yellow?
Hi I’m trying to make my self a kilts, know I have been trying 4 times and the results is not good, I have bought one and it fit almost perfectly but the waist is always the problem. And the tissus have spandex in it.
The one I’m trying to do have no stretch in it.
My waist is 33 and my hips is 42 and I have deep back ( I don’t know how to say it in English, sorry) and I do have a very small belly but it’s there
So how do you make a women kilts with does measurement please, just a little explanation would help
Thank you very much
From canada Québec 😊
Bonjour, et merci pour votre question , and please don't apologize because your English is far more fluent than my schoolboy French!
Je devrai y réfléchir before I find a useful answer, as I don't have very much experience in tailoring for the female figure.
@@robertmacdonaldbespokekilt3063 thank you so much, femelle measurement can be so frustrating when you do garment for men and it’s so easy lol
Thank you to have a look when you have the time
Cheers

If you take a closer look at the "Universal/Government/Black Watch" tartan that you show in this video, you should see that it is NOT actually any of those. It is VERY close, but the pattern is different.The Green stripes with the single black stripe down the middle is correct, BUT the Blue stripes should alternate between having two black stripes running down the middle (as you have in your cloth), AND FOUR black stripes, two running down the outer edges (as can be clearly seen in your sample of Seaforth). It is a dark enough tartan that nobody would likely notice, BUT still, and all, what you have is not actually "Universal/Government/Black Watch" tartan .
Well, 'yes' and 'no' - I've seen at least 2 variations in the Government sett used in army-issued kilt made over the last 100+ years.
Perhaps these were Wartime exigencies, or perhaps (at times) they were less particular in the past.
