Custom Throwin' Kilt

Steve,

Do you make a special kilt just FOR Heavy Athletics in Tartan fabric? I couldn't find it on your website but I would gladly accept direction.

In consultation with the athlete, yes. I don't just make a kilt and call it an athletes kilt expecting one kilt to be suitable for everyone.

But as the cost of the kilt is a very large component in the choice of an athletic kilt I am not known for them. Most of my kilts are a bit more expensive than those made overseas or from light cotton fabrics.

I have held Freedom Kilts in my hot little hands and inspected them carefully. They are the bomb. Both the contemporary kilt I looked over, and the many-pleated X Marks tartan kilts were built like nobody's business. Steve's handiwork doesn't come cheap, but it is without any shadow of a doubt, very much worth it.

*nods* Those do look nice. I had sort-of imagined making myself one, but maybe I'm kidding myself about how much personal effort I'm ready to dump into this. It definitely isn't going to happen without me buying a darned sewing machine already.

Is a throwing kilt in actual wool just unheard of or what? I'm more partial to natural fiber than I can justify.

Let me mull this over a while, Steve. The season's a little ways off yet, anyway, and I'm catching up on holiday bills. Maybe I should promise myself one of your kilts as a reward to myself for an invitation to Pleasanton in 2014, which is my perhaps-overly-ambitious personal goal.

(...but not my most ambitious personal goal, mind you.) ;)

I don't think that Pleasanton 2014 is an overly ambitious goal at all. Pleasanton 2013...yeah. That's a bit quick, but 2014 is doable, iffin' you bust hump and train smart and all.

You Can Do It.

I told you about my really ambitious goal. ... pie in the sky type stuff. Oh had I but discovered this fascination 10 years ago.
