Just finished, Wisconsin tartan kilt

**kylewsnow** · 15th February 15, 12:32 PM

Hello all. Well, it is finally finished. After two x-kilts, one quasi-traditional plaid kilt, I finally jumped into a full blown traditional kilt. I bought The Art of Kiltmaking, and followed it as best me abilities would allow. It is hard to see in the pictures, but it is pleated to a thin brown stripe (for the fur trade history in Wisconsin). I definitely learned a lot, and cannot wait to jump into my next kilt. Hope you all enjoy the pictures.

That is fantastic!

I've got to get my hands on that book.

Great job! Wish I could do that. Looks good on you. I like the tartan, too, and what it represents (I looked it up on the SRT). It appears that you used a plaid broach for a kilt pin. That should help keep the apron down in a breeze.

Looking fantastic, well done sir!

I have the book, all I need is the tartan and to practice some left handed sewing tricks.

Nicely done!

I would love to have a kilt in the California and/or San Diego tartans. The only problem is two other bands in the area (one of which is somewhat of a rival band) use those tartans and I don't want to be mistaken as a member of their bands.
