Here's a couple of piccies of my first hemp kilt.





Dread, it really is the most comfortable kilt. The hemp is warm and quite windproof, warmer than PV. The creases fall out fairly well. When it gets real dirty it goes in the washing machine. It's easy to iron and I give the leather some treatment after every wash.

After eight months on regular wear I've not noticed any fading. Only a couple of studs have fallen out, but Robert gave me a heap of replacements.
It seems MUCH softer to wear than cotton duck, and doesn't need the wearing in that other materials need.
It's fine to wear out of the box.

Robert now makes a nice apron that clips over the front for added protection, I've ordered one.
