I went for a softer look of bronze leather to go with the Madura though black might be a better option. But this bike is a little more laid back than a Buell, however, it still has a lot of attitude much like the Bronze leather RKilt.

This week brought the arrival of more kilt hose, and I have a good selection to choose from.

I also filled up the belt and sporran section. I have a few in stock to choose from.

All in All it’s been turning out to be a rather good week.
The weather is superb! Great riding weather….well that’s the plan later this evening.

This past weekend I attended the Sudbury and District Celtic Festival. It was a fun weekend the weather co-operated for the most part.
I closed up the shop for the weekend and hitched up my portable shop and headed north. I didn’t get too far out of Stratford when I blew a tire on the trailer. I installed the spare, but I didn’t trust it so headed back to Stratford for a replacement. An hour and a half later I was back on the road and had a pleasant drive up north.
I set up on Friday worked out the bugs of the set-up. The solar panels were generating electricity and I was able to do a bit of sewing.
Saturday the festival started, a little slow at first, but my product generated a lot of interest.
A number of bands came out to play.



I was located right next to the heavy events, I regret not taking pictures but I was rather busy throughout the day.

It was mostly warm and sunny for the better part of the day but dark clouds and strong winds appeared in the late afternoon prompting me to batten down the hatches. It cleared up for the Ashley MacIsaac concert which was well received. The Mudmen were playing in town that evening too, but I was knackered and decided to call it an early night.
Sunday also started off slow, wonderful weather and a number of people came up to me to discuss the leather kilt I was wearing that day and about the ensemble I wore the day before.
Late in the afternoon I packed up and headed back to Stratford, with loads of emails to answer as well as new orders.
The sales for the Limited Edition black leather Mach V LE are going rather well as a couple of them have been sold and a few spoken for.
All in all it’s been a good weekend.
More later this week.

The Disclaimer! Don’t do this at home. Professional riders were used in this photo.
When one buys a leather RKilt, it pretty much has all the things you need. It has pockets for all your stuff that you carry on a day to day basis. You know, keys wallets cell phones ipods, tool kit.
To compliment the look you might get some solid boots chunky socks, black tee shirt, you’re pretty much rockin’.
Now I know for some that just may not be enough and you just might need some more candy to really give it that “I mean business” look!
So Buelling a black leather RKilt is OK in my books!

Way to go Doug!

My inventory of sporrans is getting low, so all this weekend I will be making the RKilts sporran as well as the Tassie model.
I’m in the process of getting all the parts together. I’ve stamped out the body, pockets. card holders, belt loops. I’ve just completed gluing the thicker leather backings to facilitate the belt loops on the outside. edge coated some of the pieces.

I’ve been away for a week, attending Rocky Roegers wedding. He operates USA Kilts . Then did a mini tour of some other states.
Over the next few days I will be prepping for the Sudbury and District Celtic Festival. I have to get my trailer ready get the solar system operating to charge batteries. This will be the first event of the season for me, should be fun.

The weather was just grand today so I took the opportunity to have some photos taken of the soon to be released leather Mach V LE.
This kilt is made from supple lambs touch cow hide. It features 24 pleats just under an inch wide in a reverse kingussie pleating style. This has been a dream to wear. I wore this to the theatre last night and all day today at the shop where I spent most of the time sitting building kilts.


There’s 8 yds of leather that flow nicely as the pleats are fanned.

You can also order slash pockets.


The kilt is extremely comfortable to wear, great swish and has garnered many favourable comments.
I’m not sure I’m prepared to take it off!!!
