My new Desert Camo Freedom Kilt.

[ccga3359]

The flag:

I had my concerns about this. Don't get me wrong I just love this detail as for it's permanence I'll just have to see.

The buttons:

From the right hip. Note how the buttons are nicely seated. Also note my hand in the pocket, this is with fingers extended. they are deep pockets, about 12" deep.

T'other buttons:

Out of focus but it shows how these buttons stand off. It may just be me being too critical. And please disregard the view of the laundry room at the back.

Same buttons, different angle:

To be fair here is a different angle and the standoff is less noticeable. Also the front slash pockets are right behind them so sinking these buttons might not be possible without deleting the oh so valuable front pockets.


My complaints are minor, perhaps anal. They will not stop me from ordering another Freedom Kilt and another after that (only the wife could do that)! It is still a well built, well designed garment. It fits as it should and I'm confident that it will take years of wear and occasional abuse. It is this that first attracted me to FK, it is for outdoor use, for hiking, camping and working. Unlike wool it's washable and with it's sewn pleats and poly/cotton construction it will require minimal attention. In the camouflage it sure looks as rugged as it is.

Great thread and pics.

Just ordered mine from Steve. Found him to be very professional. Given his stated past profession, I am really looking forward to this kilt. Steve takes more measurements than anyone else we have found so far.

Last purchase was off the rack from another outfit.

This fatman ain't no off the rack fit.

6-8 weeks seems like forever to get one that fits right, so this kilted man will just have to torture the locals with my ill fitting off the rack model for not having a good kiltmaker locally.


This thread makes me believe that it will be worth the wait.
