    I don't own one, but I've handled one and seen them worn at Ravenswoods shop at faire. They are of the same great quality I expect from Ravenswood's stuff.
    If I had the desire for a leather kilt (and 800 bucks) I wouldn't hesitate getting one.

    Does the backside have pockets or is it clean? Except for the lacing. They need a picture of the back on the site.
    I assume there is a reverse box pleat center back?
    And as this is a narrow apron kilt, does it have the multipleat type system under the aprons like Utilikilt?

    Sizing - they don't mention the state of the lacing where they measure size other than adjustable 5 inches.
    Like too many kilt sellers, the state of the adjustments goes unmentioned as regards to their waist sizes - min, max or in the middle. I know exactly what my waist size is throughout the year - 32 to 34.
    Rocky measures in the middle and Jerry measures at the minimum waist adjustment. Jerrys 34" saffron wool will be falling off of me by the end of summer. Everyone needs to clarify on their website how the kilt is adjusted for their measurements.
    This is the most critical measurement on a kilt. No way, will I drop $850 for a kilt that will only fit part of the year.

    Pants is only a present tense verb here. I once panted, but it's all cool now.
