Another leather kilt convert here. Have a brown UK and so far its holding up well. Wore it three days straight in foul weather in the mountains and loved it. Also sat on it driving for five hours and no creases.

I agree, it seems to be some sort of sin to dare to point out that the quality, and sometimes the attitude, coming out of UK are less than what we as customers expect for the money. The good news is that their quality and production problems have generated a crop of young Turks ready to offer a better product. I love my six UKs, especially the leather. If UK ever get their sh*t in a group they'll be awsome. I love their spirit and I love thier corporate culture and I love what they've done to spread kilts about the world. It would be nice if the thread didn't unravel and the snaps arrived unbroken, and the jones wasn't so long...maybe I'm some sort of a jinx. Just emailed the boss a straightforward letter about my experiences. Maybe an enthusiastic kid would put up with it but I'm 60. Guess I really feel like I'm being denied the joy of a great UK when there's a quality problem. Maybe I'm just feeling bummed because my new blue denim arrived with a busted snap.

Back to leather, I'm lovin' it in the winter...not sure about how it will be in the Arizona summer, but its great now.

If I knew then what I knew now when I first started ordering kilts I would have made the first one leather...and the second. Have been saving for a black UK but now hearing that Robert may have burgandy and blue...I have a blue leather chair I've had for many many years and love...
