Pittsburgh Kilts: Yay or nay?

[Freedomlover]

Jeff's workmanship is top shelf. I don't see how anyone could go wrong ordering from him.

[MacSimoin]

Thanks for the suggestions so far. Is there anyone here who owns a twill PK willing to share their impressions as well?

What kind of twill is it? Cotton, Wool, polyester? Twill is the weave of the fabric, not the material. What's been said so far covers it.

MacSimoin, mine is the dark grey 12 oz. "brushed twill"

Bubba, please don't jump to conclusions: I know what twill is. If you re-read the first sentence at the beginning of this thread, you'll find the answer to your questions there.

Jewddha, thank you. Are you happy with the 12 oz. brushed twill cotton?

Sorry about that, I forgot. Cotton twill will behave much like denim. The only difference will be in the hand of the fabric, ie, how soft or stiff it is. Either way cotton does need a regular touch up with the iron. The other guys have commented on the workmanship aspect of a PK.

I own a heavy brushed twill PK. Yay or nay? YAY! YAY! and again YAY! Wonderful crafstmanship and very comfortable. I had a watch pocket built into mine and he worked with me on the design to make it work. The only problem with my PK is that I only have one of them.

Okay, hopefully I got the images to work, so here are some pictures.


This is the Arctic Denim, which is lined with flannel. Very heavy, very warm. Detachable cargo pockets.


Here's the suede. Has front pockets and a rear pocket.


The Araich. Altered traditional design (with quick-release clips instead of straps & buckles), single front pocket, rear pocket, and the under-apron pocket has a zipper.


The Rob Roy. My favorite kilt. Possibly the only tartan kilt Jeff has made.

Pretty sure that my Arizona Flag tri-color kilt from Pittsburgh Kilts is twill. Looks like twill, feels like twill. Pics in my gallery. Or can email direct if you want...can't post to this place yet some techie stuff I don't get about the gallery site and this place. Used to have a gallery here but seems those days are long gone.

Think Jeff has pics of it on his website gallery too.

ANYWAY...yes, twill good stuff. Wears good, washes well. I don't iron it, just use weighted clips on the seams while it dries.

Jeff makes first quality goods. You have nothing to worry about with anything you buy from him.

I have two other non-twill PKs, the desert and the forest MARPATs.

No problems with any of my PKs.

Oops, rooted out the original info on designing the tri-color PK and it was made from 9.5 oz brushed bull denim twill from Carr textile. It isn't 12 oz twill.
