UK Versus FK

[GlassMan]

I'm also thankful that UKs are an off-the-rack kilt, since at the last Capitol Pride my partner was able to see lots of guys in their UKs and also see the variety in the UK booth itself. It was enough to finally get him to agree with me that I'd look good in a solid-color kilt. Now that I've broken through that barrier, I'll be able to order a custom made solid-color kilt after we're done with all the purchases for the new house.

Thank you, Nancyman, for an honest and straightforward review. I had been hoping that someone on this board would do just that sort of thing. As you so well stated, "These are distinctly different breeds of kilt."

Yes, Freedom Kilts cost more. We are a small company that makes kilt one at a time to each customer's exact specifications. However, Freedom Kilts is expanding and hopes to offer limited off-the-rack kilts in the near future.

Freedom Kilts offers full traditional pleats with full width, tapered, aprons. We have three models and 29 different fabrics. Our Cargo and Casual models are fastened with buttons; the Dress model uses three straps and buckles. A kilt can be ordered with a low, mid- or high-rise waist, and with Traditional above-the-knee, mid- or even bottom-of-the-knee hem. We chose not to charge a "fat tax" or "tall tax".

The Freedom Kilts Guarantee states:

"I personally guarantee that every Freedom Kilt is made from the highest quality materials I can find, and with the best construction that I am capable of producing. If you are unsatisfied with the quality of materials or quality of construction for any reason, I will, at your request, repair your kilt or replace it with a comparable one. Or if you prefer, I will refund your full puchase price."

We are constantly striving to improve our product, and our service, and appreciate feedback -- both positive and negative.

Would it be suitable to offer a casual kilt fastened with straps?
I think I would be most interested in such a model.

Sylvain,

The Dress Model was specifically designed to answer just your request.

The Dress Model IS the Casual Model with Straps and Buckles.

But to get unparralled swish I increased the pleat depth which also increases the amount of fabric used.

I also had to move the Side Slash Pockets so the straps would not interfere.

If you like your kilts to sit at the Low Rise or Mid Rise position of the Casual Model but want the Strap and Buckle clouser simply order a Dress Model and specify the Rise you wish.

Oops. I meant the cargo model, which is the most "casual" of your kilts...
