RKilts Saffron Leather Kilt

Okay...I went and did it. Ordered Robert's Saffron Leather Kilt...looks like old west buckskin to me.

Be careful in dealing with Robert...All I did was buy a couple of sporran straps from him and when he shipped them he tossed in some leather swatches...saw the saffron leather and have been hooked ever since....

I know its gonna be good because I've heard good stuff about RKilts leather...was my second choice when I ordered the UK leather. Probably best this way since he didn't have the saffron back then and I'd have been devastated if I had spent the money on a black one then seen the saffron.

That's freaky Ron, because I was thinking the exact same thing. Saffron kilt... okay. A cool buckskin leather kilt... COOL!!!

As nice and consciencious as Robert makes his goods, this ought to be unreal.

You single-handedly are making the kilt industry a "hot business" on the Forbes index!!!

You'll have to hound Kiltbear for pics of his, since he should be getting his in the near future. He's a little timid about the purchase of the saffron leather kilt, so you have to speak nicely to him...soothe him...tell him he's beautiful. Stuff like that.

Just kidding B. You know I love ya! Speaking of Kiltbear pics, where are pics of the last two kilts you got from Robert?

Nah, wasn't a race...I just drank so much, for so long, that my besotted mind can't make decisions anymore...'twas the misplaced trust of my bank, extending my line of credit just a tad, that created the vacuum that sucked me in....that and the dang swatch Robert slipped me...

Guess if I'm gonna support any industry the kilt industry is a fine choice.
