Hobson's choice

[Riverkilt]

I love leather, because of its delicious smell, its sensual feel, its attractive look, its quality, its value, and its heritage.

I own two leather kilts. I own a lot of leather boots, leather jackets, leather belts, leather sporrans, leather sporran belts, leather gloves, leather shoes, leather hats, leather holsters, leather pouches, and a full hair on leather buffalo robe to sleep on in the summer and under in the winter.

If I could afford more leather goods I would buy them...I don't believe I have a fetish since leather, other than the buffalo robe, isn't part of my loving times with my lady. I do believe I have a very strong primal attraction to leather. I enjoy that primal connection.

I wish someone were able to do a thermal study of a wool kilt vs a leather kilt in cold foul weather. Be an interesting study for sure.

Sure, leather kilts are expensive. But they're also bulletproof and functional and reek of value....and hopefully, style and class.

Like you, I love leather in all forms. It just a guess on my part, from wearing leather jackets in all kinds of weather, leather, by itself, isn't very warm. Another layer, fleece, wool, silk, even cotton, will give the garment the air-trapping needed for warmth. The leather is beautifully wind-proof, and if oiled properly, water resistant as well.

I remember my late Father-in-Law was very opposed to buying his seed corn in the then new olefin fibre bags instead of burlap. His main objection was the disposal problem. The burlap, he would split, lay it flat in the fence row, and by harvest time, very little would be left. The olefin stuff, probally would out outlast the pyramids, and as we know now, if burned, gives off toxic fumes.

I am a great fan of natural fibre. Yet, I have to admit, that the synthetics do have their place in the scheme of things too.
