Beautiful kilt and my compliments to your wife... a stunning job on the belt, it is fantastic. A perfect color match on the hose.

Very nice bit of gear all the way around.

I will second (or third) the comments about the belt. Your wife did an absolutely incredible job on that. Looks like full grain leather, not the cheap top grain you get most places.

First rate all away around, Tobus! Looking grand!!

Does your wife have any interest in making other belts? I would be interested in having a conversation with her if she does.

Heh, I warned her that once I posted these pictures, people would start asking that exact question! She would likely be willing to do it, but it would be fairly expensive. Probably more than most kilt-wearers would be willing to pay. It takes a lot of time and patience to tool a belt like this (which is why most companies just offer embossed belts). So the answer is "maybe". PM me details of what you're looking for, and I will pass it on to her.

Yeah, the saddle shop pretty much has to order the best leather they can find, or the tooling ends up looking like garbage and the quality of the saddles (and belts and chaps and everything else they make) suffers. I believe they get their leather from Hermann Oak.

The outfit looks great ! ! Being a recent recipient of a Skye Highland Outfitters box-pleated kilt, I say you can't go wrong with Skye... As for the belt through the loops, if you put the belt through the loops, and the sporran not, it's much easier to slide the sporran to the side when you use the men's room ( just a suggestion ). Anyway, you will love the kilt ! !
