    That's an easy one for me: kilt and boots. I doubt I'll ever buy a leather kilt, just not fond of 'em. But I'd love some nice new hiking boots! The soles are coming off the uppers on mine and I can't afford new boots.

    The idea of a leather Kilt has always appealed to me especially since I became a consistent Kilt wearer. Yet I like you am very aware of cost (that's what I do)

    Go for the boots and Kilt now and then save up for the leather.

    Hmmm, I pretty much live in leather kilts. I'm thinking of another wool kilt, or tweed.
    But the Bronze leather kilt has been getting awsome reactions.
    I'm biased so I guess I really don't count in this thread.
    Cheers

    I called up Utilikilts this afternoon and I was told that they don't have my size in stock. What a bummer. If I have to wait 8 - 12 weeks, I rather phone up a certain leather kilt god in Ontario.

    And Yes, I really want it. Damn it. I want my leather kilt now.


    btw, I picked up a pair of New Rocks today. It was the last pair the guy gave me a discount.

    This time, I am going to have my cake and eat it too.

    I am the opposite of Robert... I live in Wool kilts, but am thinking about a brown (distressed) leather one just for fun. Hmmm...

    So, I just called Robert this morning and the order for a black leather kilt is placed. I will post a picture of me wearing the boots and the kilt once I recieved it. Thanks every one.

    Good choice, and more importantly good for you! Cannot wait until I see the completed product.
