Pittsburgh Kilts: Yay or nay?

[Ugly Bear]

I own 5 PK's; all are excellent. Pittsburgh Kilts gets a big "Yay" from me.

With PK, know what you're ordering. Since each kilt is a custom work, you'll get the best deal by asking for exactly what you want. If the basic design doesn't work for you, change it.

But even if you go with a basic design, service and workmanship are both top-notch.

I have a few photos. I'll have to see if I can get them posted through, say, photobucket.com.

I have to echo Jimmy's sentiments here. I only have four kilts (two UK's a Sport Kilt and a Pittsburgh Kilt [and a four yard box pleat on order]) and the PK is a go. Jeff is very easy to work with and the kilt is comfortable and well made. I will most certainly be buying more from him in the future. The one I have is a little unusual as it's his regular design (Get the pocket in the underapron) but the fabric is covered in Pineapples and Palm Trees (I had it made for a vacation coming up in January). If you don't see what you want he'll work with you to make it happen.

(Eventually I want kilts from all of the small kilt makers around here but money is money.)

(And sporrans to boot, David) :mrgreen:

I got a denim flannel-lined Pittsburgh Kilt. I like it a lot.

Jeff's workmanship is top shelf. I don't see how anyone could go wrong ordering from him.

Thanks for the suggestions so far. Is there anyone here who owns a twill PK willing to share their impressions as well?

What kind of twill is it? Cotton, Wool, polyester? Twill is the weave of the fabric, not the material. What's been said so far covers it.

MacSimoin, mine is the dark grey 12 oz. "brushed twill"

Bubba, please don't jump to conclusions: I know what twill is. If you re-read the first sentence at the beginning of this thread, you'll find the answer to your questions there.

Jewddha, thank you. Are you happy with the 12 oz. brushed twill cotton?

Pretty sure that my Arizona Flag tri-color kilt from Pittsburgh Kilts is twill. Looks like twill, feels like twill. Pics in my gallery. Or can email direct if you want...can't post to this place yet some techie stuff I don't get about the gallery site and this place. Used to have a gallery here but seems those days are long gone.

Think Jeff has pics of it on his website gallery too.

ANYWAY...yes, twill good stuff. Wears good, washes well. I don't iron it, just use weighted clips on the seams while it dries.

Jeff makes first quality goods. You have nothing to worry about with anything you buy from him.

I have two other non-twill PKs, the desert and the forest MARPATs.

No problems with any of my PKs.

Oops, rooted out the original info on designing the tri-color PK and it was made from 9.5 oz brushed bull denim twill from Carr textile. It isn't 12 oz twill.
