ABOUT BILL AND VIRGINIA WATSON

Bill Watson was born in Anchorage, Alaska, and began studying leatherworking as a teenager. Virginia Watson, a Hawaii native, has been creating art since childhood. The two met in Washington, DC, and later became partners in life and business. They launched their company, Potomac Leather Company, in her father's attic, later specializing in historical reproductions. Their high-quality garments have become a staple at Renaissance fairs, and their traditional Scottish kilts are now the most popular attire at one of the largest annual clan gatherings in the US. Both Bill and Virginia have earned Master Craftsman recognition, and their company has become synonymous with the highest quality in historically accurate, handcrafted clothing.
