    My first kilt

    Hopefully I've finally gotten the hang of posting a picture. A kilt in USMC (Leatherneck) tartan. May have to start saving my pennies for one in USMC (dress blue).

    Congratulations on the new kilt! I agree with Knouse, it looks FANTASTIC pleated to the stripe.

    Very nice! I especially like the pleating, which appears to be to the yellow lines.

    If you wouldn't mind a suggestion (out of trying to be helpful, not to be critical or negative, so take it in the spirit it is intended) a kilt doesn't look squared-away unless it's worn straight. You can look at the entire front panel and see which line or portion of the tartan is intended to be centered. In the military a kilt is always worn straight, and amongst most civilian pipers too.
