Scots kilt makers have criticised the decision to hand the contract to an English firm.
Whisky giant Glenmorangie has come under fire after the kilt worn by Harrison Ford in its new TV ads was created by an English skateboarding firm.The 12-part series features the 82-year- old American actor at Ardross Castle – home of BBC ’s 'The Traitors' – and workers at Glenmorangie’s distillery in Tain, Easter Ross.
John Culbert, owner of one of the biggest kilt manufacturers, Glenisla Kilts, believes it would have been a boost for the industry in Scotland to have the Blade Runner star wearing one made by a firm from north of the Border. Glenisla’s customers include Slaters, Burberry, Prada and Vivienne Westwood’s Worlds End store, who all sell the company’s kilts under their own brand names.
Ford is seen putting on the kilt for the first time in the fourth episode after it is left on his bed.Celebrities who have worn Palace clothing include Seth Rogen, Drake, Kanye West, Jay Z and Justin Bieber.In an interview last week, referencing his kilt makers, Ford said: “There are two things I’ve never been able to do – stand up on a surfboard and stand up on a skateboard.”
