Another ebay seller of modern kilts: "Wonderfully Made"

**Monkey@Arms** · 22nd July 08, 03:30 PM

Came across this on e-Bay, and am just passing it on. They could use a better photo showing the pleats. The maker apparently specializes in ren faire outfits.

Walk the Faire in comfort during the heat of the summer--and give the lasses an opportunity to bestow that blue ribbon! Wonderfully Made is pleased to offer this great-looking casual kilt that can be worn not only for re-creation events but also for everyday. It has a traditional look due to the use of leather straps and buckles. Unlike similarly styled kilts, ours uses a heavy-duty Velcro system to allow this kilt to be adjusted at the waist up to 2"--perfect for those who fluctuate in weight. The kilt is made with two inner slash pockets (one pocket on each side) and a back rear hip pocket. The pockets are similar to a man’s dress slack. All pleats are sewn down, allowing the kilt to keep its great look after washing. Even with the leather straps the kilt is machine wash cold, tumble dry low or hang dry. Once about every 3-6 months (depending on how much you wash it) you will need to condition the leather straps by polishing them or applying mink oil. Standard length is 22"; rule of thumb for kilt length is that the bottom of the kilt should hit about the center of your kneecap. We do offer a longer length for taller gentlemen in our other auctions.

Price is $125, plus $10 shipping

Good for them! The more the merrier.

But from the pictures at least it appears that they have some way to go to compare favorably with UK, AK, SK, and FK.

I'll watch them for a year or so to see if they make the pleats a little more prominant. That's the only thing I don't like there. They have the makings of a good looking casual kilt, though!

Except for the apron-like pleat, it is a nice-looking kilt. I'll have to look at them.

*Old UKs had pleats 360. I'll give them a chance.

There are pleats? It looks like there is an apron on the back too. Maybe it is a reverse kingquisse (sp)

Exactly what I was thinking! I really don't like the look of them, but then again they're not making me buy it either

I just clicked on your link and they don't have anything for sale. Are they defunct?

How very strange, they had a lot of items for sale earlier today. I suspect its all made to order. The e-Bay notice says "This Store seller is currently away." Perhaps vacation?

I was going to ask "what pleats?"

I would say it doesn't look too bad, though. Probably have to see it in person to know for sure. Even those Gold Brothers kilts look fine in a picture.
