Well, the weekend is past us, so I thought I would do part two of the R-Kilt review.
A traffic jam on the QEW forced us to detour along the Lakeshore Rd. through Dalhousie (Where there is a pub called the Kilt and Clover - good kilt night venue). When we got almost into Niagara-on-the-Lake, we stopped and had lunch at the Red Rooster restaurant. That is where a late twenties something guy noticed my kilt and did a double take and commented on how awesome he thought it was. He asked about the maker, and prices, so I gave him Roberts web site information. Four more people received the same information over the course of the weekend after they asked me about the kilt. I have never had this kind of response when wearing my other kilts.
Being a little bit heavier than my other kilts, this 10oz. Hemp kilt takes a bit of getting used to.. particularly the leather key ring holder, and D ring belt loops which tended to poke my ribs when sitting, but only when I slouch. I think they will soften up over time.
I wore the kilt walking around the town all afternoon, went to the theater to see a live play, and had dinner at the Prince of Wales hotel. The kilt was at home in every venue. I never felt under dressed or over dressed. After a while, you just forget about it and enjoy the freedom and comfort. I noticed a lot of folks taking a serupticious look, but I didn't see any disapproval. Only acceptance.
While I prefer a lighter weight kilt for around the house, this R-Kilt is now bay far my favorite "Out-and-About" kilt.
For a Made-to-Measure garment, these kilts are a very good value. You can't even buy a decent off the rack blazer for this price.
Thanks again Robert
Cheers,
Rick
