My new Desert Camo Freedom Kilt.

[ccga3359]

Now that's a review. Makes me even sorrier that I can't make it up there Saturday, since I haven't seen a FK yet. Of course, it's reviews like this that make me think that I could order one sight unseen without any problems.

Some times you have to take a leap of faith, I did with this one and Wow! i'm glad I did, it's one nice kilt and as advertized. Don't worry Wompet, this kilt will get a lot of wear at our kilt nights you will see it and you will order one after. Of that I'm confident.

3"?! You really really want to get kilt-checked, don't you?

I will happen one day won't it? Promise me it will!

I had already planned my next kilt to be one of Steve's, but you've certainly done nothing but solidify that decision for me. (My first FK, however, will be a solid color - nothing against the camo, but since I don't HAVE to wear camo patterns any more, I tend not to. More importantly, the solid will replace a pair of uniform p@nts, so I need to at least try to come close to matching their color.)

A quick read of FK's history shows that Steve designed his kilt for office wear and the FK style does look good in solid colour. I think that the side cargo pockets might detract from that look but by all means consider his hidden pocket options.

I really appreciate your comment on the decorative buttons being raised a bit - I wouldn't have expected that, and like your proposed "fix." (I hope Steve can/will accommodate a few of us who may be a bit persnickity about things - I just hate "catching" on things as I wander around... it's bad enough my shoulders tend to "catch" every doorjamb or corner I pass - and not because of my breadth. I've "caught" seams and pleats and flaps and pocket opening, and... well, you get the idea. Buttons that catch? Just more potential pain!)

Those buttons do add to the styling a great deal. The next FK I was to order I was going to ask Steve if he could try to seat my buttons more. Hey, Steve's an engineer right? Let's challenge him!
