    New Kilt. By..... O'neille!

    I liked the "Bark and Leaf" camo so much, I decided I needed one for myself! I plan to wear this bad boy bird hunting.

    *Edit* Firearm picture removed. I don't recall seeing a rule on THIS thread about not posting firearm photos. But, for the sake of sake, it's gone.*
    Here's a snap with the newest family addition "Winston." I don't know that he'd do much good out amongst the fowl.



    Here's a pleat shot. We went with a knife pleat on this one with sewn in pleats. If you remember his first camo featured box pleats. Oh, and yes.... the tattoo on my left calve is EXACTLY what it looks like. I got a free tattoo if I let the guy pick the pattern and that's what I got! I wouldn't trade it for the world.





    So, my review:

    -The construction is solid and true
    -The stitching is NOT going to come out
    -The pleats are even, straight, and consistent
    -The reverse pleat does what it's designed to
    -The four belt loops hold a "kilt sized" belt
    -O'Neille's measurements are SPOT ON

    I honestly have no negative marks. Well, I suppose I could complain that I now have to find some brown accessories!

    I'm sure I'm forgetting to review something or other. I'm more than happy to answer anything I have forgotten. Just post up or send me an IM.

    The little boy next door pointed at it and asked "what is that??" I replied, "It's called a kilt." "What?" he asked. "It's called a kilt." I told him. "Oh, well it looks like a skirt to me." he says. "Well, it's a man's skirt." I chuckled.

    haha flaming tp, nice!



    I'm disappointed that the pattern doesn't match up on the belt loops. There is absolutely no excuse!

    but seriously, excellent-looking kilt! Enjoy it, sir!

    That is really nice...... O'Neil's handiwork is really good quality. Nice 12g by the way.

    Nice hunting kilt.

    While we're on the kilts n' shotguns theme, I've captioned this one, "Call it a skirt, I dare ya." Remmie 870, for those interested.

    I have never been a fan of Camo kilt but this kilt looks good.

    I should snap a shot kilted while toting my M44. Sure, it's old, but it kicks like a mule, and is pretty accurate for a gun that's got 1955 stamped as it's date of manufacture.

    The O'Neille is looking sharp, I've actually been chatting with him about getting something made (pursuing it shall I say?).
    The pattern doesn't match up on the belt loops? Only the sharpest of eyes will catch that. Besides, it's camo... that's hard to match up. You need to get one of those camo shirts (I dunno if they have one in the wood/bark pattern, but I have seen them in woodland) that says "You can't see me."
    I always found those good for a chuckle.
