    Freedom Kilts, A Class Act

    I have just returned from spending the day at Freedom Kilts. My visit was neccessitated by my shirt order. Due to the custom nature of its construction, I felt it best if measurements were taken from life. Steve and Bobbie were nothing short of fantastic. They readily welcomed me and within a short time I had gone from customer to friend. We shared a number of giggles and guffaws and assorted teehees. Their hospitality knew no bounds,from cookies to assisting me in getting home. I feel privledged to have these fine people in my circle of friends. As if the quality of Freedom Kilts wasn't enough, the memories I have of this day will ensure more than a few future purchases. Thanks Wizard and KK.

    Hey Mikey,

    Now ya got me feeling bad because I ain't been up to B.C. to see the shop yet, but Steve's been down here in Arizona.

    Here's a pic of a couple of straight kilted guys at a Pride Festival. Hell we had fun and our ladies were there somewhere...

    I moved this thread to the Freedom Kilts forum, so Steve's customers and prospective customers can easily find it.

    Thank you for the kind words Mike.

    Boy did we pull one over on you. We're actually both crabby stick-in-the-muds that hate people dropping in to bother us.

    To everyone else please note: Mike allowed us to make up the pattern for a really big shirt. That means our kilt shirt will now be available in the following sizes..... S - M - L - XL - XXL - XXXL - Hagrid.

    Of course he shows up at the shop with a kilt that needed some minor repairs so the highlight of Bobbies day was seeing Mike have to take off his kilt and since he did not bring a change of clothes having to wrap himself in 15 yards of spare fabric, AKA a great kilt, and parade around the shop. The sight scared away three customers.

    A good day Mike thank you. Next time we must find a way to keep you here long enough to buy you a brew across the street.

    I am a short version of Hagrid.

    He's my fave HP character.

    Quoting Steve,


    "Of course he shows up at the shop with a kilt that needed some minor repairs so the highlight of Bobbies day was seeing Mike have to take off his kilt and since he did not bring a change of clothes having to wrap himself in 15 yards of spare fabric, AKA a great kilt, and parade around the shop.

    Humiliation, no charge.
