First Canadian Casual Kilt

[Wompet]

Got my Canadian Casual Kilt today after seven long weeks of waiting. The jonesing was worth it. This kilt is great!

For those who haven't heard of Canadian Casual Kilts, it's owned and operated by XMarks' own MacHummel and his wife, who are, unfortunately, website-less. MacHummel makes tailored 4-5 yd, 8 yd, and great kilts using 11.5 oz polyvicose with the traditional three-straps (for the 4 & 8 yd kilts).

I ordered a 4-5 yard kilt in Robertson Red, with matching flashes and flask pocket (on the under apron) for $203 US, including shipping. The fit is great, and the comfort - well, once I have a good day sporran I may not wear my UKs again.
(Okay, I'm exaggerating there, but this is so comfortable - and so warmer than cotton.)
Compared to my wool kilts - it's definitely lighter and less scratchy than my 4 yd 13 oz; I don't know about warmth because that's my "good" kilt and I haven't worn it in a while. I do know that it is both lighter and warmer than my 3 yd 10 oz sport kilt.
My only complaint is that the flask pocket may be a little high. On the other hand, only a very, very good friend will be able to get her hands in that pocket.;)

I posted pictures here - CCKs 1-4. No pictures of me wearing it yet - I don't have a tripod. And you can see in #4 the surprise gift that MacHummel included.

I'm glad to see you got it. I saw the kilt before it went out. It turned out really well. Post a few wearing it. I'm sure it will look great.
Trust me the web-site is comeing soon. It should be up just in the new year. It looks great already and will include more info on his kilts.

I talk about his kilts because I wear them myself. He makes them in 5 yard, 8 yard in PV, Poly-wool, Denim, treated Camo etc. The 5 yard looks like an 8 yard just lighter. He prefers PV because he can't wear wool. I like a variety of materials to match the event. I'm hopeing to get one of each over time. He's been working on a few secrets lately. He'll likely launch them after the web- site goes public.

There was some debate about the flask pocket and it's location. I'm sure he'll appetiate feedback on that one. We carry small flasks so they can go anyware. That pocket is big enough for a wallet if you need to hide one away. It would take a crafty pickpocket to get it.

I'm glad to hear you like it and those shirts say it all.

MacHummel, I was just looking at the pics posted by Wompit. That kilt looks as good as any casual I've seen. I'll be glad to see your website when you get it done and operating. I think Bear and Rocky are soon going to have some competion.
