Bear Kilts, formal cut; got it today!

[Andrew Breecher]

I wore a four-yard kilt every day for five months, in rain, snow, sleet, hail, and gallons of sweat. I never ironed it, and the pleats remained true. Only the very first pleat to the left of the apron "softened", because the four-yard kilt required that it was shallow. If there had been a bit more material it would have been deeper, and no problems at all (on my eight-yard kilt, that first pleat is much deeper).

Alan,

CONGRATULATIONS! I just love my Bear Kilt, and know that I will get more. Great review BTW!

Bear, thanks for your clarification. I'll guess that the pleats hang as perfectly as my Grizzly since you take the style difference into account! I've washed the Cape Breton five times now, and never ironed it. The pleats are still right on the money! I wish I could do that!

Alan, you need to find an online photo album and post some front, side and back shots of the kilt for the membership to view. Okay. You don't NEED to, but it sure would be appreciated.

Great news Alan I wore my 8 yard classic Cut to Scotland . People I talked to about it liked the machine wash idea. However I'm yet to wash it .

I use a steam gun to freshen the pleats. However they still look great after a day driving the car.
The velcro is great for those heavy meals too.

While on the subject the two Kub kilts I ordered came a week ago I'll try for some pictures of my son and daughter this weekend.

This is (I hope) good news for me as well. I ordered my Bear Kilt at the end of November 2004 (Bear cashed my cheque in December), so given that you have just received your December order, I can only hope that mine is right around the corner (the fourth vague "completion-date-estimate" from Bear passed several days ago).
