    A modern take on 4yd box kilt

    Many moons ago, I bough 2.5 yards of Martin Mills wool from RockyR. It sat in my "to do" pile for years. I thought it would be a cool casual kilt, made of wool, but with the look of denim.

    I used Matt's addendum to the original The Art of Kiltmaking.

    Finally, after stumbling on the perfect kilt pin, I knew I had to get it done.

    Original cloth. Unfortunately the twill lines didn't run the way I wanted. So I had to cut and seam 3 pieces to make the yardage.

    And, now that I have a fun kilt pin, I whipped up a custom shirt, and paired with the new kilt. Sorry for the wrinkles. I've never fully dressed that dummy before.
