| | | New Green Leather RKilt
Well, it was a nasty grim rainy day for taking kilt pics, but a promise is a promise. More if the Sun finds its way home.  
You can see it was windy out today. The wind actually helps show how much leather Robert puts into his leather RKilts. 
A bit closer look  
The feel of the leather is a sensual buttery softness...and the leather aroma...mmmmmmm
Probably can't see it but also bought one of Robert's ranger belts. Leather jean jacket is from J. Peterman (if you happen to wear size small they're now on deep discount). Lewis kilt hose and traditional garter ties from Scottish Tartans Museum and Z-Coil hikers.

Great photos Ron, congratulations on the new kilt.

Ron, that is absolutely beautiful. Though the weather must have felt nasty, it made for fine pictures and demonstrated the sturdy quality of the kilt!
Congratulations!

That is nice! The one photo is almost a TMI moment, but it does show how well the leather drapes. It must be very supple.

Beautiful kilt Ron! Looking forward to seeing the green leather in all it's splendor on a bright, sunny Arizona day.

You know, I never really seriously considered making a leather kilt until this thread and the previous one, Ron. Now I think that this summer I'm going to tackle this new challenge. We have lots of leather dealers in town, so materials should be no problem, and my summer job generates a reasonable amount of "disposable" income.
