Our latest episode is now live, and it’s a special one. We sat down with James Ansite, founder of Sport Kilt, a company that has been shaping modern Highland style for nearly 30 years. Since its launch in the mid-1990s, Sport Kilt has grown from a garage project in Southern California into one of the most recognizable kilt brands in the world.
James shares how Sport Kilt began with a single handmade kilt, why he wanted a lighter and more accessible alternative to the traditional wool kilt and how the company helped bring tartan culture into everyday life, from Highland Games athletes to families discovering their Scottish roots.
We also explore the blend of heritage and innovation that defines both Sport Kilt and the work we do here at the Clan Mackenzie Initiative. It’s a conversation about creativity, tradition (and a wee bit of rebellion) and the ways modern makers keep Scottish culture alive.

This was a fun discussion and we’re excited to share it with the global Mackenzie community and all who love Scottish culture.
