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!

With camo maybe call it pleated to the confusion...
Great job!

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