Just got leather kilt from Rkilts
Just got leather kilt from Rkilts
It was delivered to my office on Monday and it is a very nice kilt. It is heavy, and very well build. I am very pleased with the construction and the design. Since the kilt was build to my measurement, it fits me very WELL!!
It is heavy, but I hardly noticed the weight after I put it on. The leather isn't stiff at all. it is buttery soft. The hardware on the kilt is top notch as well. I can see myself wearing this kilt for a long time. IT looks to be bomb proof.
I will totally buy another kilt from Rkilts.

Congratulations and I wish you health to wear your new leather kilt. I saw a young guy wearing a leather kilt out and about in Edinburgh on Sunday and looking very sharp.

Here is a picture of me in the kilt

You look very smart in your new kilt. I recognise your picture from another forum where you posted pics. under a different user name.

They hold up well under abuse. I have worn mine out in the rain a lot I haven't had any problems with it staining. A bit of hand lotion will give it back the original softness. The kilt weighs in around 4lbs.Big and Bashful wrote:Cool looking kilt, like the look. Doesn't it seem heavier and harder than even a heavy wool kilt? How will it survive a big rain? will the leather mark or stain?
I like the idea of one of those, if they are as bomb proof as a heavy trad kilt.
There is many a time that I have rolled this up to stuff it in a tank bag on my motorcycle. I just give it a quick shake and it's back into shape.
I pretty much live in leather kilts.

I have to take issue with that statement... looks do not indicate a person's intelligence, sir.cessna152towser wrote:You look very smart in your new kilt.
OH, forget what I just said, right after typing that I got an image of Paris Hilton in my mind... sorta disproves my statement I guess.
Without knowing this company or their materials, I would hope their leather is tanned and treated like any other garment leather such as motorcycle leathers.
Just wipe it down from time-to-time, keep it clean and make sure you let it dry thoroughly if you're going to store it away anytime.
My old pair of bike chaps sprouted a bunch of new hair once when they got damp in the garage and didn't dry out well.
I used to use neatsfoot on my leathers. Any leather conditioner would probably work fine.
That is a good looking kilt, btw.
You wear it well, young man!
Those boots look quite industrial! Some sort of goth style?

I use premium leather, I have a number of suppliers and I hand pick the hides for each kilt. These kilts should last for generations to come.WSmac wrote:

Those boots are from New Rocks Boots. Lots of Goths/Industrial folks wear them. They are heavy, clunky and surprisingly comfortable.WSmac wrote:
