R Kilts Review

[RockyR]

Well guys... it arrived only 5 days after it was sent. My new Bronze Leather R Kilt is here!

While I haven't been able to get any pics of it yet (I'm leaving right now to go to a party for my dad's 60th birthday), here are the pics Robert posted:

First, let me say AGAIN that I was a P.I.T.A. Customer. As I have fully admitted, Robert is a saint for having to deal with me. Think of it this way... if you were a Chef and were eating out at a restaurant, you'd be critical of the food, correct?

I had Robert jumping through hoops with lots of requests... leave things off and add others on... pleats a certain size and front apron a certain size... buckles bronze to match the snaps and rivits... leather straps to match the color of the kilt...

He accomodated all of my requests except a few, which he explained WHY he couldn't accomodate and I understood. There were no "surprises" when I got the kilt. That's a very good thing.

The fit is spot on. Almost like it was made for me! HAHAHAA

The pockets are placed very nicely on the exact SIDE of the kilt, not too far back (on my butt) or toward the front. If you drop your hands to your side, they are right there. The pockets also have an "internal" pocket (as well as 2 "external" pockets and 1 "big regular" one) like Raphael had on his. Good way to keep things separate in there.

The hardwear is VERy nice... I REALLY like the brass snaps and rivits and buckles... I know I was a pain about it, but I will say that it is DEFINITELY the "finishing touch" I was looking for. I compare it to a really nice kitchen with "average" doorknobs and hinges against a nice kitchen with REALLY NICE looking hardware... just gives it that finishing touch.

I will say that I'm jealous of 1 thing... Robert doesn't have to hem all his edges or surge them b/c leather doesn't fray!

Overall... very well done. I would definitely feel comfortable sending customers to Robert for a custom made leather kilt and can personally verify his high level of customer service and quality.

Kelly snapped a few pics of me in it today at the shop:
