    Kilted Blacksmith in the Atlanta Journal Constitution

    As some may have seen in the recent UK Newsletter, the AJC did a recent article on a guy there, who is a blacksmith and who wears a kilt. The article has been archived and if this link does not take you to the article, just do a "kilt" search from the AJC.com homepage and be sure to click "archive".

    Good article. Enjoy

    There's been some discussion of Practikilts here a little while ago. I think the general concensus was they're not worth it.

    I agree with Big Dave, they look too short....but I've got to give props to the blacksmith. I've done some metal working, that's hard and I'm sure he's got his share of burns on his legs!
