Freedom Kilts or RKilts

**Fearnest** · 30th March 07, 04:55 PM

Heck, Steve - you just convinced me!

**Dreadbelly** · 30th March 07, 04:59 PM

Oooh I love both so much... How could anybody make this choice?

Check with them both and see who could get one to you first. Inspire a little competition!

Steve, Robert....let the bidding wars begin!

Perhaps x-marks need another thread that does for kilts what lending tree does for mortgages....you know: "when kilt makers wield their sgian dubhs...you win" or some such phrase :-)

1. Robert is too nice a guy to post here and tout his own fine kilts.

I've met him, he's not that nice

2. Robert makes a far too nice a kilt for the likes of you.

Yeah true, but he might've forgotten who he'd be dealing with.

3. Robert needs to make my Hemp kilt first.

There is more than enough Cannabis Sativa in B.C. to begin with.

4. Robert is going to be too busy because I just spoke to a man who wants kilts for his store and I gave him Roberts phone no.

And you've just taken on a new job as movie star/director/producer. You have the time?

5. Hemp? What's that? don't they make rope and sandbags from that?

Yep! It ties in well with my marine heritage don'tcha think? CCGA - Canadian Coast Guard Auxiliary.

6. Even Graham has a Hemp kilt. Don't you want something no one else has?

And nobody has a Freedom Kilt?

7. Robert's one of those polite Canadians and would probably not argue with you when you want "non-standard".

No smart *** answer from me, Robert is "non-standard", no argument there.

8. Spring is coming and Robert probably wants to ride his motorcycle and not make kilts.

At a buck a litre he needs my money.

9. Tomorrow is Saturday and Robert probably won't be home to take your order.

Read my original post - I'm working a lot of overtime so I have extra money. Work Saturday morning, then work on getting rescue boat ready for Marine use such as splicing the hemp line and such.

10.I beg and grovel better than Robert.

And point out my spelling mistakes better than Robert too!

That's why you guys are helping me!

No competing, no special deals. I just can't decide. Suptle sofisticated Freedom Kilt or take no prisoners, in your face RKilts. Unless... I could negotiate with Robert and get mine made before Rocky's, now that would be cruel. And I bet Rocky would remember this for when I get my Saffron from him!

so i wonder if a woodland camo kilt is in my future.
with my bad arm i don't think i could do this myself,
so i wonder if the fact i have the fabric might get me a deal somewhere.

Talk to MacHummel of CCK, He's a fellow SOKSer, very reasonable and has worked with the Woodland before.

Hey Grant You have some thinking to do....I can though,
deal with #8 and #9 of Steve's wonderful top 10 list....
#8 Robert did the unthinkable and bought a pair of pants tonight so he can ride his motorcycle and has been out on it a few times already. (His only other pair finally wore out and are now used as cleaning rags for his beloved motorcycle)
#9 Robert will be working through the weekend to finish off some hemp kilts 'cause he promised Rocky he would start on his bronze leather kilt this coming week.

After Easter Robert will be picking up two new colours of hemp.

For the quicker turn around you might have to go to Freedom as I'm booked on a flight to Europe to hand deliver Ham's kilt and Robin's kilt.

However I might suggest you do a couple of more overtime shifts and get one from each of us.
Now I could be talked into hand delivering one to you, any excuse to twist the throttle and burn up some back road twisties....Avoid Canada post.

Grant Having fun yet??
I think you will be happy with either an FK or RK
pleasant dreams ......whahahahahaha

Now I'm leaning toward Steve as he doesn't own trousers! Then again I posted that one shouldn't ride kilted so I'll let you off. It's a 7 hour flight to England (Gatwick, my home town) and one hour train ride up to Paddington then an hour and a half to Arundel castle. Give Hamish his kilt (32 minutes, stay for tea), then reverse. That gives you 19 hours to hand sew my kilt. What's the problem?

I don't have an RK yet but I'm pretty happy with my FK tiger stripe camo kilt. Steve did a great job.

Imma hafta say go with Freedom Kilt now...

Robert never offered to deliver to me personally and save me the agony of Canada's mail service.

And I am miffed.
