Black hemp RKilt review

18.5 ounce hemp.

Check out the 20 ounce hemp herringbone fabric. I desire a kilt made out of that.

Carbon fibre? Carbon fibre? I want one! how much? Does anyone want to buy a spleen? The wife has just gone to bed so give me a few minutes...

Great thread! And Graham, if you are coming up and over, post details. Ontario is not that far away! There is a great boat show in January if the heat is getting to you...

Dread,
Thanks for the links. I have some green hemp/cotton jersey fabric sitting around , but the green canvas ... now that would make a "tank."

Me too! I wonder if one could ever risk dyeing his own after getting the pristine natural-color hemp RK? It might look something like this (use your imagination, 'kay?)

this one work any better?

this is not my kilt, just one I noted a while back on the UK site (had to use the search to find it today). the caption on the pic at the original link I posted had this advice: "custom dye job on a white workman's. the uneven color is only because the kilt is still drying. if you get lucky and get your hands on a white and want to dye custom, use DYLON not Rit!"

My hemp kilt beat me up and tried to soften me up.

In Soviet Russia, the kilt softens you! ha ha. I was more or less still on the fence on the hemp kilt thing, but I think I am sold
