    ANOTHER new BearKilt...

    It's funny how the preferences run with guys and their kilts. Some, for some G_d-knows reason will only buy from one company. I like to spread the wealth and frequent as many kiltmakers as possible. That way, I'm privy to numerous styles, varying materials, and I'm experienced with the differences.

    I will tell you this much:

    BearKilts are wonderfully made, originally designed, sewn with incredible precision, unique beyond description, and comfortable as skin itself. Anyone that hasn't gone out and bought one is missing something that's special in this world! I mean, if you're gonna wear kilts, then why not go out and get one that's just awesome to wear?!!!

    Thanks Bear for yet ANOTHER great kilt! I just wish that I had come-up with these designs so that I could be a millionaire like you! Oh crap... you're in Canada. I mean a hundredaire like you!

    You KNOW that pictures are soon to follow. This Cape Breton Grizzly-cut is just too cool to behold!

    Cool stuff, Jimmy! Of the 3 kilts I own my Bear Kilt is my favorite by far.
    The biggest problem with Bear Kilts is trying to decide what tartan to buy! The Cape Breton is on my list of BK possibilites, among many others. So many tartans, so little money!

    ...and the pictures are now in the Personal Gallery.

    Notice that the back pleats have absolutely NO wandering. This is a "Casual Kilt" folks!

    The tartan is UNREAL. Very tame, light in appearance, and NOT a freakin' DRESS tartan. It IS possible to get a lighter real tartan without stealing from the women.

    Again... thanks Bear for an unbelievable piece of craftsmanship, originality, and art. this baby will LONG be one of my favorites!

    Jimmy you're killing me! I can't wait until my Bear kilt comes.

    Has anyone ever died of anticipation?

    Thanks for the glowing praise, Jimmy. How do I respond to that?
    All I can say is, you will be quoted often!

    Cape Breton...

    Not to mention Jimmy, that the Cape Breton tartan represents the center of the Celtic universe in the New World, Cape Breton!!

    Absolutely brilliant!

    Cheers,

    The amount of Celtic musical talent that comes out of Cape Breton ALONE is enough to make me adore this tartan!

    It's one of my absolute favorite places on Earth. Since many of my family are of the "Canuckial persuasion", I feel quite comfortable wearing it too!

    I wish you guys could see these pleats! They're tighter than an Scotsman on his last nickle.
