OK now lets discuss getting the wrinkles outta Robert. Even when we are both wearing leather kilts I notice him getting most (all) of the kilt checks. As I am a handsome youthful looking 43 year old I figure they are pity kilt checks because Robert looks so old (yet is younger than me by several months).

Is it 750 for the regular leather kilt and 650 for the mach 5 leather, or is one page needing refreshed? (Dang I'm going to be saving for a while)

The original RKilt design is 750 Canadian and the Mach5 should be $645 Canadian.
Given the exchange rate you will do well.

I'm a true blond and 10 years your senior...they maybe just threatened by that plastic chicken you have dangling in front where as most of us have a real rooster. (Now that should make Glen and Jamie squirm a bit...then again they might delete this depending on what Star says

)

I have SEEN, with my own two eyes, Star playing with, even physically and verbally abusing, a rubber rooster.

And I encourage the kids to do so as well!

Be well,

So, having wanted a hemp kilt, but fearing the wrinkles from my experience with hemp shirts, I'm wondering what the effect of a steamer would be on a hemp kilt. Would it help eliminate wrinkles and set seams like with a wool or polyviscose kilt or would the steam eliminate the pleats?

Anyone steam their hemp kilts?

And, would it be possible for tartan fabric to be woven from hemp threads??

A hemp tartan kilts could dominate the contemporary kilt industry.

Guessing there is a reason mills aren't producing hemp in tartan fabrics...or are they/

Steamers work well.
My pleats are top stitched so they pretty much stay in place
