I think that garbadine/cotton is harder to keep ironed than is wool, so it is not surprising that there is curling.

What reaction have you had when you wear it? I was just in the Caribbean for three weeks, and people kept asking if I was English. One woman asked if Scotland was near Holland.

Very good looking kilt! I like the rugged look to it.

GRacias Galician, realmente es un buen ambiente.

about the fabric: I buy it thinking its cotton polyester. then I realize is 100% cotton. Is a pain in the... arm. the rigth one, the one I use for ironing. LOL

So I learn about fabrics, and decide to wear it curly until made another Kilt. I hope this will be soon.

In the caribbean the people are more open and "extrovertidos" here in capital city they dont say nothing. Some teens (males) laugh a lot in the supermarket yesterday but shut up when I look at them, (not a bad look, a friendly one). Im a little "distraido" so don't realize people are looking me, My girlfriend do.

A funny situation was when I go to buy a subway (sandwich), when I was going out, the security guy was goin to open the door for my (they do it for males and females always) but when he realize I was a man wearing a "skirt" he freeze. He really don't wan't to take a mistake. He must thaught that if he open the door I will feel he is traiting me like a lady, so he freeze then take a step back.

I was really funny. 3 days after I was again, in trousers and he open the door.

Another funny situation was a group of guy in the trunk of a pick up, they was passing I was Walking. One make this whistling fiu fiu. And thay all laugh, so I look at him and said "What a bad taste you have!". all his fellows laugh a lot and he turn RED.

Besides this funny reactions IF someone say something usually is positive. and a few want to make kilts or at least to wear one.

we are spreading the Kilt. Thats good.

Saludos

Bienvenidos, Andres!!

Simply amazing for your first time. The straps and buckles add a finishing touch and adds to the "personality". Keep up the good work and bad behavior!

Felicidades Andres por tu primer kilt, que te quedo fantastico por lo demas, yo tambien fabrique mis primeros dos kilts, pero los mios son tradicionales, y bueno...quedaron como primerizo que soy.!

Now, I'd agree with the others in that it is a fantastic looking first effort, the whole finished look of it is very manly and rugged as somebody mentioned.

Bronze always does it for that sort of look, and the sporran/lady bag solution is just genius, hope you don't mind me using it for some of my later projects.

I live in the US but I have plans to visit Chile next year and stir up enough oop: with my Young relatives there that a local Clan can be started and introduce our beautiful kilts to that part of the world.

So to you, :yes:

Soy de Argentina aunque vivo en Honduras.
Chile is (continuo en inglich para los demas) a beautifull country, I travel there a lot a few years ago. The South is just great. Sadly I don't now the north deserts, but is one of tha places to see before die.

Good luck with that proyect of make a clan there, Im sure you will success.
And a little advice: beware of the pisco. can be deadly. I told you by my experiences.

(I was soooo drunk)

Wow that turned out fantastic, wish I had the time for that. I think I have the aptitude just lacking the time.

[Dundee]

That is an excellent looking x kilt. I have been reading the plans and hope to make one soon. I hope mine comes out half a nice as yours did.

[ardchoille]

That looks awesome! I'll be embarking on my first X-Kilt today and I really like what you did for the straps.. thanks for the idea.

Andres, I must tell you that la F-H.C.A.G. es una mujer muy hermosa y estoy seguro que ella tiene gusto de besarse mucho, pero Panache puede no aprobar!

pero......

¡toda la aclamación, si usted la hace!
