    New Tiger-stripe camo

    Here's the inaugural outing in my new self-made Tiger-stripe camo knife-pleated hiking kilt. I took it out for a stroll on the trail system maintained by the local college campus about 2 miles from my house. Photo was taken in front the ruin of an old dam that was constructed in the very early 1900's for hydroelectric generation.



    I also made the sporran. I'm calling it hiking sporran version 1.0. Olive canvas with paracord tassels. It's roomy enough for lots of stuff, and has a top-mounted zipper for easy access.

    Great photo, and the talent to be able to sew up your own kilt always blows me away.

    When you said tiger-stripe, I expected orange and black! How can anyone ever find you in the woods now?

    Was that picture taken at Montreat?

    When given a choice, most people will choose.

    No...at Warren Wilson College. It's literally in my back yard, and has plenty of trails for a quick jaunt with my dog. Not steep like Montreat, so we hike double-time.

    And as an LSU alum, the idea of a real tiger-stripe kilt has occurred to me, but I really don't see that actually happening.

    That's handsome, and I really like it with the sporran.

    Great job on the kilt. And the sporran is an excellent idea... really great fit with the camo kilt!

    Very nice. I dunno if I'd be bold enough for orange and black tiger stripes though. I do like the camo !

    Both looking good; kilt and sporran. Any chance to see the pleated part of the kilt?
    I like the breeze between my knees

    I like that sporran and the kilt is very nice. Looks like a great place for a hike and exploration.
