    Question For Graham

    How well is the Hemp Kilt holding up on the job? I'm thinking about getting one and/or a couple of canvas Buzz KIdders for work.

    Really good thanks, I love it so much I've ordered another from robert.

    Today my wife washed it, I ironed it and dressed the leather, I'm off to a trade show in Sydney on Wednesday and plan to wear it there. It's the kind of show where guys turn up in their workwear. I will turn up in MY workwear - a hemp kilt, I'm looking forward to it.

    I've found the hemp was very warm through winter, more so than PV. It's fairly heavy, when I'm working I don't notice the weight but when relaxing in the evening I change into a light wool USAK kilt.

    The hemp is so much softer than other materials (except wool), the pleats swing nicely and don't look too bad even after sitting around.

    I think Roberts' on a winner with this kilt, he has a winning material, a winning design, and as I've said before, it's the perfect work kilt.

    I'm not Graham, and I don't have a hemp Rkilt. BUT, I do have a canvas Buzz Kidder. I would definately recommend it, especially as a work kilt. Very comfortable, sturdy, and looks like a KILT! Also, don't forget O'Neill's cranking out some quality garments now-a-days. I just got a canvas camo kilt from him, and I think I'm in love.

    Graham, Tattoobradley- Thanks for the replies. At the moment I'm wearing a Stillwater Standerd at work 75% of the time and my Workmans Uk the other 25 %. The Standards are holding up well but I'm needing something a little stronger. I think the Hemp Rkilts and the Buzzkidders will do nicely. again, thanks.
