I have a couple more I will make shortly, but am hoping to make my USA Bicentennial kilt between now and July 4th.

Great work you do! Thanks for the pics. You certainly are a well dressed
(kilted) man!

Is there a pattern or plans for the Balmorals on the web?
that looks like a fun project.

The balmorals look great and that X-Marks box-pleat is sweet!

Great pics!

Question: What color hose are those? They looked more bluish then the stone/grey hose that I have, and I like the look of them. Could just be the lighting, but do tell....

They are just plain mid-gray. I got them from my favorite reenactment store (96 District Storehouse). They are worsted wool knit and $16/pair. I just like how they look with the X-Marks kilt (esp. w/ navy flashes).
For hose that are ALMOST and EXACT match for the X Marks dark blue, contact Matt at the Tartan Museum. He has Lewis hose that are PERFECT!
