Yes! That's where I want to go with one of my kilt purchases, maybe in DPM or woodland camo. Do you prefer the cargo pockets or will you be ordering any hidden side pockets in future kilts? What is the composition of the material you're using?

I am not familiar with the weight of the fabric, but I will ask the maker. She sent me a swatch of a faded woodland camo she has located, and it looks pretty good. The DPM is a pretty good camo overall, but I kind of like the subdued, non-military look of the Real Tree and Mossy Oak fabrics. I had thought about Multicam, but they really like that stuff and it shows in the price. We buy some of their fabric for a couple of products we carry, and it is cost prohibitive to experiment with...for me anyway.
I had not thought of any hidden pockets, but I prefer belt pouches over pockets, even on my trousers. I honestly have not tried to put anything in these pockets yet. That deerhide pouch is held by a "sporran belt" made from 550 cord, with an eye braided into it. I use that same braided line for my casual kilts, with the nylon Stillwater sporran.
