9:37 - Is the Chieftain Vest just an historically-inspired garment like the ghillie shirt, or is it historically accurate?

16:00 Will the Glen Affric tartan be available in PV? Will the success of Glen Affric result in a greater effort to seek out other old tartans in Scotland?

28:37 Some tartans are ONLY offered in 11 oz currently (unless a custom run is done for 13,14, or 16 oz). I’ve noticed that some kiltmakers will use 11 oz while others won’t use it at all, and a few will make an 8yd kilt from it upon request, but not a 5yd kilt. What are the challenges or problems in making kilts from 11 oz tartan? Are there any benefits? And should price be lower for using 11 oz?

33:37 What is your favorite aspect of the Highland dress industry?
What is something you feel the industry could benefit from by changing? For example, using more sustainable cloth like bamboo or hemp.

41:22 Is it ok to wear a wristwatch with a kilt? Every image I see, no one has a wristwatch on.

48:16 Since parts of France and Spain were Celtic nations, did any of them adopt tartans?

54:57 Kilt Ambassador

58:48 In the Motorcycle club I used to associate with, it was common to refer to a car as a "cage" primarily because its so much more confining (dang it, it's snowing, I guess I have to take the "cage" to work today). Is there a similar slang expression for trousers or other garments for the lower half of the body when one must forgo the wearing of one's kilt? If not, can you, or are you willing to come up with one?

1:02:24 Do you feel that the kilting industry (and Scottish tourism in general) is influenced by media representation (even inaccuracies) such as Braveheart, Rob Roy, Outlander, etc? And as such, do you find sales of certain items increase or decrease following the popularity of such media releases?

1:14:12 If you could have a tartan reproduced from any TV show or film, which one would you choose?

1:19:40 My wool kilt of 10 years I have never needed to do anything for the pleats, they have always been crisp and hardly ever wrinkled and I've never taken an iron to it. My new wool kilt it seems needs an iron every (every other) time I pull it out; it picks up wrinkles and creases like crazy and some of the pleat edges like to stay rounded and not crisp even with some ironing. Are there any tips or tricks to get those pleats to stay crisp?

1:28:57 When USA Kilts started, and Rocky went to the Scottish mills to get material, were they skeptical about how well a US-based kilt company would do? What kind of reception did he get?

1:38:56 Not to be morbid, but before one passes on, should one put one's kilts in the will? What would each of you do? Any special instructions you have?

1:53:44 Question of the day recap - What are your negative/insulting nicknames for pants?
