Leather Kilt Decision

[Riverkilt]

I made a decision to take my RKilt Saffron (I call it buckskin) out of the closet and wear it a LOT. Decided that leather garments need to be worn a lot to develop a patina, a look of wear, rather than being hung up in the closet for special occasions.

So I'm gonna do that. Instead of wearing my UK denim on the weekends, gonna wear my leather RKilt.

Already started. Here's a couple pics from hiking yesterday. The "outfit" probably qualifies for the "Kilt Don'ts" but it is HOT and sandals were comfy...the western shirt seemed to go well with the color of the kilt, though its askew from hiking...and the cavalry hat...my lady insisted...

Anyhow, my belated question is - I'm doing right...correct? This will be a good thing over time....?

I don't wanna take it on the river though...think getting it wet would make it dry smaller and I'm already on the last hole in the kilt straps...another weight reduction insentive.





Its hazy out because the Kaibab Plateau is still on fire and so is Navajo Mountain, that lump on the horizon.

Interesting, the way the piping on the shirt goes with the kilt… Looks fine to me, Ron. I also like leather with patina- no one confuses it with vinyl!

Now THAT's how to make a cowboy hat work with a kilt!

Ron, sorry but I see no photo, nor can I access your photo album, nor can I access my Photo Album, nor can I access IMFF.net from any direction! Conclusion: Nigel's server (or whatever it is called) must be malfunctioning - again! I have just written to Nigel about it.

I agree with every word about the leather though!

I still cannot see your photos even after disabling the firewall Ron

Hi Ham

I hope all is well your side, long time no Speak.
We had a little hiccup here with the advertising and should be back up soon all being well.


The invite for you to come up still stands, let me know how you are getting along.

Hi Ron

The backdrop is wicked, and the kilt looks good too!

i plan on wearing my leather UK camping some time... keep your leather clean and conditioned and it will out live us all...

Nice kilt Ron, a leather RKilt is certainly on my wish list, maybe the British tan, Hamish loves his one.

You do need to wear it more, that's what they are for!
