Thanks guys for all the supportive comments.
I had a lot of fun building this kilt. Thanks Grant for getting my butt in gear to build it.
Some of the features will be incorporated in future Rkilts

Grant,
Thanks for the info on multi-cam! I'd been wondering how to find it in bulk after seeing it as a US Army style uniforn in the Brigade QM catalogue.
Sounds like an Xkilt project for the wife.
Thanks again!

Having seen this kilt in person I have to say that Robert really did an amazing job with it. The kilt looks like it will put up with all the abuse that paintball can throw at it. I also know how happy you must be with it Grant, congratulations again on such a nice one of a kind kilt.

Very impressive! Err, what happens if you get hit in the knee or something? Any worries about diving for cover and getting hit in some exposed area? I suppose this is a reason not to ever run away from the 'enemy'!

In later pics you'll see I have matching knee pads. It's true I'll still have vulnerable areas at the back of my knees which will typicaly be the only exposed flesh. Even in pants it is only protected by a single layer of loose fabric. I'm considering soccer shin pads underneath my hose. The only real danger from behind is my own team and if you knew me, then that's is a real danger .
To paraphrase Gen. 'Chesty' Puller "We're not retreating, we're advancing in the opposite direction".

Umm, Grant, with all of that camo, how are you ever going to get kilt checked??? No one will be able to find you!
Seriously, congrats to Robert for building this and to you for being crazy enough to think of it. It is seriously 'manly'!
