I applaud you Ron.
Quick question you stirred here though. You mentioned the velcro in the USA casuals. So, are the casuals worn like a trad kilt (up high on the belly?) Or, are they supposed to be worn on the hips? I'm still trying to decide what I'm gonna order from them.... it's so tough to decide... haha.

Good on you Ron! I can almost wish I was single again so I did not have to pay as much attention to the finances!
TattooBradley, the casuals are meant to be worn where you wear pants, or a similar height.

Ron,
When I saw Rob (Canuck), I reminded him that you've warned us all about receiving swatches from him. His reply was to show me the new bronze leather RKilt and say "Do you think I should send Ron a swatch?" :rolleyes:
Be veerrry careful checking your mail - there're swatches out there with your name on them ...
And for everyone who thinks I'm joking, Rob is so good I started asking to see swatches.

Hey KCW...I ain't just single....I'm old....been gathering loot a while.
And TatBrad KCW's right. I wear mine like pants or Utilikilts, under my Buddha belly. Check out my USAKilt casual pics in my gallery - think on page 3.
Rocky and Kelly do another cool thing I like. They put a belt loop on the far right side of the USAKilt apron. Sorta the same thing that Utilikilt does...no don't know who thought of it first...but I like it a lot. Since there are no straps, it really helps hold the apron in place...a little extra security.

Ron,
Who are you buying new Kilts for? Certainly not yourself, and how did you get my measurements?

I do love my leather RKilt Wompet...got the "saffron" one, I call it "buckskin."
And come on GMan...I've seen the pics...you don't got no Buddha belly like me....

Hey Ron...
Yes, those are the tartans you ordered. Ramsay, Scottish National, Prince of Wales and Douglas.
TTB...
You can wear the kilt EITHER way. Up at the natural waist or lower like a pair of jeans. The main thing is to take the LENGTH measurement from the top of where you WANT to wear it to the middle of the knee.
Ron again...
I'm not sure what UK does with their belt loops, but if they do the same as us, I'd guess they were first since they've been around longer. We put the loops at the edges of the front apron to make it look a LITTLE more traditional and to keep the open end of the apron from drooping if the kilt was a little too big. It's a simple design that works.
