    Kilt No:76 - The Bronze Leather from 'R-Kilts'

    Yes, I have it! I have it and I LOVE it. Robert carried kilt No.76 in my Kollection all the way from Ontario, Canada to Storrington, United Kingdom and ceremonially handed it over to me before I allowed him in my home! (Pic in another thread).

    The leather is soft and supple and Robert's expert workmanship is nothing short of superb. The well-chosen solid brass 'furniture' and the contrasting dark maroon belt and straps set the 'bronze' of the kilt to the fullest effect. I am absolutely thrilled to have this amazing garment in my possession and wore it throughout both the days Robert and his father were here (Pics of their visit to come in the 'Pics' section soon).

    Here are the first photos of the kilt:

    First of all, welcome back! You have been missed. Secondly, that is stunning and it looks like you love it!

    dang it, i really really want one of those. out of the few leather kilts i have seen, that version is the best in my opinion.

    That's a great looking kilt, Hamish! I agree with furrycelt; that's the best leather kilt I've seen.
