Pittsburgh Kilts: Yay or nay?

What kind of twill is it? Cotton, Wool, polyester? Twill is the weave of the fabric, not the material. What's been said so far covers it.

MacSimoin, mine is the dark grey 12 oz. "brushed twill"

Bubba, please don't jump to conclusions: I know what twill is. If you re-read the first sentence at the beginning of this thread, you'll find the answer to your questions there.

Jewddha, thank you. Are you happy with the 12 oz. brushed twill cotton?

Sorry about that, I forgot. Cotton twill will behave much like denim. The only difference will be in the hand of the fabric, ie, how soft or stiff it is. Either way cotton does need a regular touch up with the iron. The other guys have commented on the workmanship aspect of a PK.

I own a heavy brushed twill PK. Yay or nay? YAY! YAY! and again YAY! Wonderful crafstmanship and very comfortable. I had a watch pocket built into mine and he worked with me on the design to make it work. The only problem with my PK is that I only have one of them.

Okay, hopefully I got the images to work, so here are some pictures.

This is the Arctic Denim, which is lined with flannel. Very heavy, very warm. Detachable cargo pockets.

Here's the suede. Has front pockets and a rear pocket.

The Araich. Altered traditional design (with quick-release clips instead of straps & buckles), single front pocket, rear pocket, and the under-apron pocket has a zipper.

The Rob Roy. My favorite kilt. Possibly the only tartan kilt Jeff has made.

Earlier this year I had the pleasure of visiting with Jeff and his family.

Do Not have any doubt, this man makes a good kilt!!!!

I got to touch and look closely at Jeff's work and got to ask as many questions as I could think of. I was impressed.

Now remember, Jeff and I do a completly different style of kilt. And his are totally custom designed for and by each customer.

So go ahead and place that order. Tell Jeff what you want and you'll be smiling.

I have a PK in the 12 0z brushed twill (Black) I wear to work cooking and the kilt really holds up to the rough work environment of a kitchen.

You will be very happy witha PK.

Steve, I just have to say that this forum and it contributors continue to amaze me, especially the contributors that are also making kilts for income. For you to endorse Jeff, regardless of whether you and Jeff are direct competitors, is world class in my opinion, and I have seen the same courtesy and attitude from the other kilt makers that bother to contribute/monitor this forum. Good in ya! And I look forward to ordering a kilt from you, even if you did not have signed copies of Heinlein's books!
