    Just finished 1st X-Kilt

    Well just finished my first attempt at an X-Kilt this morning. I went out for the first time a couple of hours after, and only had compliments. Here's a few picies.



    Pardon the wrinkles.



    Altight Hamish this my first attempt at a true "Hamish" pose. How did I do?



    Any suggestions how I might improve it. Please let me know. Alan thanks for the design, It was simple to follow.

    Nice job! I'm a big man myself and when Alan said that us big guys might not get the look we hope out of this design, I was worried. But you have inspired me to go forward.

    Brett,

    That is a fine looking kilt (Huh! Another X Marker blessed with 'needle talent'! I am SO jealous!!) and you wear it well, into the bargain. Congratulations.

    As for the 'Hamish': yes, really quite good (!). I'd like to see a little more extension of the right leg - your right leg - with a nice bend of the knee ........ it tends to show off the pleats to advantage! However, for a first timer you are showing considerable promise. Well done!

    That looks great, and the gray material would work well in a business envirnonment, very similar to a UK Mocker in heather grey. And nobody else has said it, but Blimey, your a big boy! You look like you've got to be well over 6', with the Scottish stout to back up anything you want! I am guessing you don't get many disparaging comments, and can deal with the few you might get.
