    Canvas Kilt

    I'm going to give a canvas kilt a try. Ordered a Navy blue from the Scottish Tartans Museum today. They e-mailed me back, and said it will be 4-6 weeks delivery.

    From the web site these look to be pretty nice kilts. They are 6-8 yards of 10 oz Army Duck canvas. I also have some oatmeal hose on order with them. So it jonesing time again.

    If anyone has one of these canvas kilts, I'd like to hear how well you like it.

    Darrell,

    I do not have a canvas kilt, but I do want to say CONGRATULATIONS on your upcoming new kilt.

    I have a utilikilt. I wear it the most as I work in it three to four days a week.
    It's holding up great.

    Well, I made my own canvas kilt last summer, and I like it a lot. I tend to wear it to work more often than my other kilts, 'cause I don't mind of I spill stuff on it. I have no idea how yours will compare to mine, but the durable material works rather well.

    I made a canvas kilt, too, and it was my first kilt that I stitched up. I didn't know what I was doing, and the stuff wrinkles/creases in the blink of an eye, but aside from that, it's a good, solid, essentially indestructible kilt.

    I've got one of the Buzz Kidder canvas kilts. If you sit on it any length of time at all, you get a big crease. Otherwise, it's a good heavy kilt.
