Very nice, I love the look of the entire outfit. I could never own a kilt with pockets, I tend to stuff my p  ts pockets full of stuff!!
Wear in good health,
Sara

Sara, You just hit on the whole reason I make my kilts. I too tend to stuff my pockets full of all the things I use in a day. When I took these photos I had my pipe and tobacco pouch, a set of keys, my lighter and pipe tool, a change purse, at tape measure, two pens, and a old used hankie in those pockets.
Customers are always amazed when I ask them if they can see anything in the pockets, and when they say no, I start to unload them. I love to watch their eyes bug out at how much stuff is in there.
Oh, and I forgot to mention....The fabric for this kilt is 13 oz. Wool from Marton Mills. It is their Bute line and I couldn't be happier with it.
The fabric has a hard, dense weave and drapes wonderfully as you can see. The selvedge is perfect. Far better than some mills that use a turned selvedge.
It was a joy to work with.
Derek, check your PM's first thing in the morning.

I have said this a few times, I really like fabric I have purchased from Marton Mills. I was thinking of going with the 16oz IOS, but since this is the second positive review I have read about the 13oz, I might have to go lighter.

Who is still shocked at what Steve can get into his pockets!

And thanks for the "brown look." gotta try it with my IOS.
