My wife and I have been through your website several times and have a budget laid out for a kilt to be ordered from you hopefully this September. Until then, my HoS kilts will suit my needs just fine. I dont worry about them falling apart or getting ruined because to me, they're just like a pair of Old Navy jeans.

I'm against tailored kilts for mucking around because in my mind I think, "Someone spent time making this and putting effort into it to make and here I am picking up dog poo and changing spark plugs on my car in it." It makes me feel like I've betrayed the craft. In the same way I wouldn't wear a sweater that my grandma made while I'm out hiking through the bush. It's a disrespect to the maker to not treat something like that with care. HoS kilts on the other hand, I could care less what happens to them while in them. They're not made with care and I dont feel bad treating them carelessly.
I have 20+ kilts and made from PV, (both from Marton Mills and the HoS variety) and from wool - 5 yd, 4 yd box pleat and , 8 yarders,. I wear them at times that are appropriate, but for example if cooking on the bbq, or changing a tire on my bicycle, regardless of the kilt I am wearing, I'll put on an apron.
