Good review Dread, I agree it is a heavy kilt, and I love it, you really feel like you have something secure around you, no worries about wind!

I bought my first hemp kilt in April last year, I wear it to work nearly every day and it hold up really well.
I've learned to forget about "perfect pleats" and enjoy this work kilt for what it is.
RKilts hemp kilt really takes the knocks, the leather is fantastic, Robert is accomplished at leatherwork.

Personally, I never wear a sporran with it, i find the pockets more than adequate. I've used them for nails, screws, all sorts of tools, Phones, PDA's. They are tough!

I hear there may be a blue-ish hemp available soon, I'd love one is dark green too.
Hemp is incredible! best work kilt ever, bar none!

Finally, don't believe a word I've said, if you do, you'll be ordering a hemp kilt and Robert will be too busy to make another for me
