My new Desert Camo Freedom Kilt.

[cessna152towser]

Grant, thanks for an excellent and detailed review; the only thing you need to add is some pictures of you in your new kilt as soon as you can meet up with a working camera. As you know I am a big fan of Steve's Freedom Kilts having bought one of his made to measure cargo kilts at the beginning of the year and having added a second hand one in the Cadpat I bought from Riverkilt. You will feel ten feet tall. These really are go anywhere kilts which withstand the most rugged treatment and weather. You could be right about the little Canadian flag being less durable - while the flag on my Cargo kilt still looks fresh I've failed to find one in the corresponding place on the Cadpat - either there never was one on Steve's earlier kilts or if there was it washed off.

Alex it is possible that the earlier FK's did not have the flag detail. As for my concerns of the durability of the flag my be unfounded, we have yet to hear from the master on both regards. I've come to the awareness that I need some sand coloured socks to complete the look and will be checking out my local army surplus store (owner is a fellow CG volunteer I might add). On the older Canadian fatigues is a small Candian flag (roughly 1½" x ¾"), red and white in peacekeeping missions and two shades of green for combat. If you pm me your shipping address I shall send you one for your CADPAT kilt. Needle & thread will be your responsibility.

fine,
tell the guy i want them, and to cut me a deal! :soda:
after all there will be more sales to follow.
(i wonder if your buddy might be able to get a hold of a bolt of knock off CADPAT fabric? hint hint!!)
then give him my contact info! (email, phone# and so on)
that way it's not on you, it's all me.
wont be able to pay till the first of the month though so no rush.

Aye Alex, There never was a Canadian flag on the FK CADPAT...so it didn't wear off, just never was....great idea though...

And hey Grant. Try a disposable camera, then have it developed to a disc and you're ready to go with on line pics.

Tell you what folks, you're gonna get your money's worth (spelled VALUE) when you buy a Freedom Kilt.
