    Jones for 18 months

    Guilty! It has taken me 18 months to complete this project for a customer....ouch!
    The story behind this one is; A fellow wanted a leather kilt to wear in his workshop. He wanted me to make it from scrap leather. In other words he wanted a multi coloured unit. I try to use everything so I don't waste too much. So every once in awhile I would set a piece aside for this project. So finally I completed it.
    behold a multi coloured leather kilt. The leather is; Saffron, Brown, Dark Blue, British Rebel tan. Bronze, Distressed Brown, Black. Straps are Brown, Black and Burgandy.
    The front is Saffron

    The left is Dark Brown, Saffron, Bronze. Waistband blue, pockets Blue Saffron Bronze inside British tan



    The right side is saffron, distressed brown, waistband distressed brown. Pocket Dark brown, saffron, British tan

    The back is Bronze and British Tan with saffron



    This has been the longest wait. I really don't want to do this again, it's bad enough folks are waiting up to six months with me, I'm now in the 12 weeks range.
    Just thought some of you might be interested in this project...it is and will be the only one.
    Cheers
    Robert

    Wow! I likey a lot. And here you go showing us this creation and at the same time telling us we can't have one?!? And I always thought Canadians were nice people. (Even mostly Grant except for that Maple Leaf incident.)

    Where to you get the blue cows?

    Nice work Robert.

    Very nice work. A few too many colors for my taste, but excellent work.
