Hunting Kilt

**Tiny** · 29th November 09, 10:06 PM

I was wondering if anyone has made a hunting kilt. I found some fabric I think might work its 12oz cotton poly blend in camo pattern with base color blaze orange. aka hunters orange.

found here for 7.99 a yard by 60 inches.

If this fabric wont work maybe someone might know of a place that offers something that will work.

Shipping weight is lists as 12oz per yard, which would make this on the light side, but it is a twill. I would consider 3 yards and a double box pleat to add some weight. Still only $24 for material. It would make a great alternative to 'pink death'!

How about these?

They're all 6 yards, knife pleated with 6" deep pleats and 1.5" reveals.
Just be sure you get a poly/cotton blend or the wrinkles will drive you crazy.

I had seen these. part of why I had the idea to make a hunting kilt. Hunting requirements are that I wear 2 items that are blaze orange I just figured why not make the kilt one of those 2 items i have to wear. who knows maybe my 2 items will be a blaze camo kilt and a matching day plaid.

Is there a minimum amount of square inches that must be orange?

Won't a "loud' MacLeod work then???

Seriously--I get by with an orange hat and game vest and my khaki utilikilt.

After living in the Sheridan Wyo. area for a couple of game seasons and running across out of staters who were inebriated and toting high power hunting rifles I donned as much orange as I could. We also lived in the west end of the state and never had any problems of that sort. I miss living there.
Do the Antelope still outnumber the states' population? They did when I lived there. Not pulling legs here they really did!

To keep this on topic I think the hunters orange camo kilt is a grand idea!
