Good timing on this post. A couple weeks ago a friend of mine asked if I could look at one of his kilts. He has a problem with the straps/buckles. I have not looked at the kilt so I am not sure of...

As a general rule when I wear a utility type kilts it is a very casual situation. I do not wear a sporran. Working on projects around the house the sporran would get in the way. When I want to...

For chores outside or inside the house I have an old beat-up black Utilikilt that serves the purpose. Boots are 10" steel toe. A pocket t-shirt when it is hot. Cooler temperatures I will go with a...
