    Spooky Southern Breeze,

    That's exactly what happened to me. Saw a caramel workman's at the Arizona Ren Faire, looked them up on line, and activated a new addiction.

    Something's working...don't think there'd be the fashion boom in contemporary kilts without the big back pocket logo for us to read and goggle for.

Looking at your pics, I think that I have changed my mind and will keep it (was going to return it to Wal-mart).
    I tried several belts with the Workman’s, but the kilt is so rugged looking that they just did not do it justice. I wore the kilt once to a local Tractor Supply and one of the guys there asked me if it were a Carhart Kilt! That got me to thinking that I needed a rugged belt to match the character of this type of kilt, and when I came across this belt I jumped on it.

    What is nice is that the Workman’s has nice 3-inch belt loops, so it really took this type of belt well. I always get compliments on it and have never have a hard time explaining the masculinity of the kilt when wearing it with this belt. Of course being 6 foot and 240 lbs doesn't hurt either :-)

    Thanks for all the compliments guys ...

    I get that Carhardt kilt comment a lot in this part of the world. I just smile and say yes. That gets them to wondering. :razz:

    Early on, I was lucky to find the plain masculine looking belts that Mike sells at AmeriKilts. Solid value. Brown and black. Call your size. They are perfect for my UKs.

    The Workman's is near the end of my short list.
    A guy in Powhatan, VA, switched me onto those belts. Works great for all of my kilts. I'm not very traditional.
    Looks good!

    Indeed! That's the same belt that Sir Daniel told me about & that I'm going to look into tomorrow!

    Both Home Depot & Lowes carry it.

    Nice photos. I'll have to see if I can get that belt here from the local tack store. The closest Home Depot is two hours away (one of the reasons we moved here.)
