Does nyone have pictures of a Freedom Kilt with pockets?

[The Wizard of BC]

If you look over the history of kilt making, the Utilikilt company were the first to make a kilt with pockets.

Then I came along and began to make kilts with pockets too. It just made sense. What other male garment does not have pockets.

After a while Sports Kilts began to offer pockets. I have heard, but do not have proof to back it up, that they bought on of my kilts through a third party to see how I did it.

I am an Engineer so finding a way to incorporate pockets without distorting the garment is important to me. And that came in real handy when it came to putting pockets into a Tartan kilt made from full weight wool fabric and that look and hung like a high quality made kilt.
I learned real quick that just sticking pockets into a kilt would not give me what I was going for.


Here is a Dress Blue Tartan kilt with pockets. 8.63 yards of 16oz wool





Even with formal wear my kilts have pockets. Victoria, City of Gardens Tartan, 16oz wool.

From May 2004 until December 2019, when I closed my retail shop, it was exceptionally rare for me to have a customer ask for a kilt without pockets.

Over the years I have taught many people how to incorporate pockets into a kilt and retain the classic look. At the annual Kilt Kamp, Barb T. would teach in one room and I in another. Even a few of my former employees have continued to make kilts with what I taught them.
