    Did it work??? and Big Mikey

    It's a busy time of year, and us kiltmakers are putting in extra hours. However, It's not uncommon to try and throw a friendly wrench in the works to slow down production.
    The Wrench is Big Mikey! Yes Folks That crumudgeon from Freedom kilts will encourage Big M to poke and skype other talented and busy kiltmakers to take precious time away from building a kilt to add to the jones time of a customer......It's all in good fun and actually it's a nice break to talk to fellow members.
    So here's a few pics of what I was working on whilst being interrupted by the "Big Mikey"
    Warning to those the following can be controversial as it's Tan and Black ( my apologies to the Scots)
    This is a British Rebel Tan 7yd leather RKilt

    Tan and black Tassie sporran

    The Back

    Left side

    Right side

    Edwardian Kilt hose made by my dad

    Two tone Belt

    Fortunately it was the weekend and this won't go out till Mondays post so hopefully the customer won't be put out too much....I blame it on Big Mikey (anyway he's jonesing for product from me too )

    Ooohh, British Rebel! I do like the colouring... Don't blame Big Mikey, he's but a simple man. No doubt put to the task by the evil Steve Ashton.

    That looks wonderful! Awesome work. I am sure the customer won't mind the wait once that shows up; it would have been worth it.

    It's very easy to completely dismiss the "Black and Tan" political nonsense in this wonderful kilt. Whoever ordered it is getting a beauty.

    That said...

    Come out and fight me like a man..."

    That was for me old Irish Ma.

    Is that Big Mikey size? If so, you certainly made it to look normal. Very beautiful!
