I am a sworn convert to leather kilts which for a true Scotsman (rather than Scots via emigration etc etc) is almost heresy. Much more comfortable and definitely more practical. Warmer/wipe clean/what else can I say? Plus girlies REALLY love 'em. I got groped at an Anastasia concert by two late 20's girlies as I was trying to find my seat. One lifted the kilt and the other went in for the kill. Would they have groped a 50 year old guy had he been wearing a conventional kilt? Methinks not. Write to Robert at Rkilts for quotes and remember he is quoting Canadian dollars not Yankee. And no...I'm not on commission. Some will try to tell you that a leather Utilikilt is much better. I have one and its rapidly unthreading all over. The workmanship is poorer. Uh oh I have opened my mouth again. Here we go... a flood of replies attacking me and telling me how wunnerful UK kilts are and how dare I have an opinion which runs contrary to the God fearing pro American way of life. Gawd bless America....(blech)
