Mines brown. Wears like iron. Great kilt maker. Thanks for posting, especially with the photos.

I'm hoping I'll be able to say the same; only time will tell if this particular fabric will wear as well as I anticipate. Glad you like yours; do you have any photos of it on here? My next kilt will be one of Robert's leather kilts in brown or tan, but that probably won't happen for another half a year. I'm glad you appreciate the photos, too.
Jake:
Robert's standard hemp does in fact wear quite well and is extremely comfortable. Just a thought, I don't wear a sporran with my RKilt, but Robert makes sporrans that use your RKilt hardware and they look sharp. Your comments on his service are right on the money.
So I've heard. I may at some point get another black hemp kilt, but in the standard fabric and keep it for nicer occasions. The one in this review I got with the intent of eventually having it as my main outdoor work/dirty work kilt, but until I can get a nice one of equal quality and construction for the nicer occasions, I'm going to try to keep this one in presentable condition.
I've seen Robert's sporrans and I find them not only quite nice looking, but also very reasonably priced. They've already made it onto my wish list. Maybe I'll order one with the leather kilt......
Just to clarify the weight of the cloth. The 13 oz is determined from i square yard and is somewhat equivalent to cloth rated at 16 oz per yd 60" wide.
The 10 oz hemp that I prefer to use is equivalent to 13 oz cloth 1 yd by 60" wide. It can be confusing I know but that's the way the industry is.
Cheers

Like I said, Robert's design is an excellent one. You can work and play without having to change.

Thank you for clarifying that Robert; I'm still a newbie when it comes to the technical bits That does explain a lot though. This thing is beastly and I was having a hard time trying to imagine a 16oz wool tank being even more so. This kilt is exactly what I wanted it to be though, and I thank you for your patience with helping me make my first kilt order. As I mentioned, I'll certainly be back for more.
