    And so it came to pass...

    ... that with much help and coaching from the Wizard and his apprentice I have produced my very own kilt and hopefully first of many to come.

    I felt making it from CADPAT material was a nice reminder to my former military career. Having worn the uniform prior to, and through it's introduction having a CADPAT kilt just feels somehow right.

    Looking at the rear. . .

    Is it pleated to the sett, or to the stripe?



    Seriously, though -- nice work indeed!!

    I gave Jackson a daunting task with this fabric. To pleat it "To the leaf".

    Dang! That came out pretty darn good. I like CADPAT. When I have time I plan on another MARPAT, but this time in RevK instead of box-pleat X-Kilt.

    Are you sure that's your first one? Looks as good as most pro jobs! Well done Sir!

    First camo kilt I've seen that I like the look of, perhaps because the pleating etc appears fairly traditional. Well done!
