    $389.50 Leather Kilt from SportKilt

    Just noticed on the SportKilt website that they're offering leather now. "Buttery soft".

    Has anyone seen this offering and have any feedback on it. Only one pic on their website. Black seems the only color. Looks like their sewn down pleat pattern in a leather.

    I was >< this close to buying a leather kilt a few years ago (it would have been my first, then) during a local leather festival weekend. It was not exactly like buttah, but it was soft and pliable and very sturdy at the same time (a lot like me). It fit me beautifully. I hesitated. I went back the next day. They were gone. I drove two hours to Columbus later in the week to their store. They did not keep my appointment. I left, kiltless.

    I still want one, but now my priorities have changed.

    <sigh>

    Please post a review, and I will revel in yours.

    Regards,
    Rex in Cincinnati

    Leather Kilts are the height of the addiction Rex...I have two, RKilt Saffron and UK Brown. Could have probably bought THREE tanks for that money and a LOT more knock around kilts.

    Maybe CT can soon tell us what these new SportKilt leather's are like.

    Aye Ron, that I can do. The Premier line was James' (of SK) Idea, using leather was mine. My leather stock was smoother and thinner than what he had.
    I'm excited now.

    As the proud owner of six real leather kilts (TFCK, R.Kilts,UnionKilts, and Utilikilts), I'd very much like to hear reports of this one. Thus far, my opinion of SportKilts has not been too good.

    Hey, if you can make it, swing by the San Diego Highland Games - not too far from you at all. I'd like to see that leather kilt.

    If my Stillwater heavyweight green shadow tartan kilt makes it here on time, I'll wear it in honor of your (our) Irish side(s).

    Regards,
    Scott Gilmore

    Hey Scott, come on by the athletics. I'll be wearing my SWK Nightstalker and my Clan Strachan shirt, say hi.
