Oh I concur with the quality but this is for lounging around. A concern with cotton kilts are that they are easily wrinkled, I do not know if acrylic will stand up much better though. Another option could be R kilts and their hemp kilts. It is one that I am considering for a knock around kilt, unfortunately $300cdn is a hard pill to swallow but are made to last, and last, and last...

thanks for the ideas, I was looking into getting a UK but also wanted something like pv perhaps.

If there is anything tougher out there than a hemp RKilt, I'd like to see it.

I have fallen madly and deeply in love with my hemp kilt. It is... It is just perfect. The price should not be a concern. You will fall apart long before your kilt ever will.

Strapping on the hemp kilt feels like buckling on a suit of armor... It is stiff and heavy. Strong. Secure. You feel sheltered. Snug. Safe. It does crazy things for your confidence, like a bottle of mezcal. The solid heft and weight hanging off of your hips adds a little swagger to your walk.

And it drives the wimmins wild.

Judge, present yourself in the newby section so that we can welcome you to the rabble proper like. Include some info such as where you're from and such.

Solid color duck cloth, Denim, Camo or PV. from Canadian Casual Kilts. All a little cheaper and easy to take care of. You can't wear through Duck, denim or rip stop Camo.
A hemp R-kilt if your into that style of kilt. Built custom for you by Robert, not like the UK's. Worth a little extra for custom and the exchange makes up some of the difference.

For about the same price as a UK, you can get a much better kilt. In denim. Custom fitted to every curve of your body.

Dread, you might want this, but as for me, I'm kind of glad to have something not completely form-fitting!

On a somewhat related note - I do like my mocker, but if I had known then what I know now, I would have chosen a different supplier.

Well, if you have odd sizes like I do, having a custom fitted kilt is a Godsend.

Really, the difference is astounding. Being bowlegged, my kilts sort of fit funny... My Rkit has completely changed my kilting experience.

Sorry, but I am going to gush about this kilt for a long time. I want to offer my RKilt wine, song, and roses. Chocolates even. Even my wife loves it.
