The Pleated Snake!
At last, I have a photo of the pleats on the luscious leather 'Snakeskin' TFCK kilt I introduced to you recently. So here it is for those that were asking:
The pinkish-tinge is due to the sunlight reflecting from the brick wall of my house. The base colour of the leather is actually a pale beige, with the grey markings. As for the enormously deep belt loops: I have yet to ask Howie why they are quite so large ((I am wearing a 2" black leather belt!), and why they were provided in a brown, rather than black, fabric. My thoughts are to carefully dye them black but I will wait until I have tried out all-brown acessories with the kilt.

They look great Ham.
I bet that it will be a HUGE attention getter!

Maybe it's my screen, but I don't think the color on the loops are odd looking. To me they appear a grayish color and I think they provide a good transition from the darker shirt to the lighter kilt. Color them if you want but they look fine to me except for the size.

Beautiful "sharp" pleats...TFCK really did a great job...very nice!
The beltloops are indeed a bit odd....wasn't it possible to make them from the same material as the kilt? Brown is second best I think...I'm not that sure about black.
Fantastic kilt!

that is a great looking kilt. One questions, are the scales very fragile? I've seen a lot of snakeskins where the scales peel off if rubbed up against.
thanks,
KT

It's actually leather with a snakeskin pattern applied. Beautiful kilt.

That's cool, I've been poking around the house looking for rattlesnakes ever since I first saw it. I think they're on to me and all moved away. How does it get along w/ a St. Patrick's Tartan. O'Neille
