Got 18 yards!
Hey all
I went to get my wool fabric today. Instead of getting a measly 4.5 yards for just one feilidh-mhor, I went ahead and got the whole 9 yards. Literally!
While I was at it, I decided I might as well get a bolt of the Black watch fabric as well.
The really nice thing is that it's all 100% Pendleton wool woven at their mill down the river from me!
One bolt of fabric is a non tartan plaid pattern.
It has some really nice light and dark blue and brown base colors with red and light yellow stripes. I really like it actually, and will suit me well for reenactment purposes.
I already cut this down from 9 yards to 4.5 and already tried wrapping it as a great kilt on myself......definitely a process you need to practice a while until you get the right look.....
It also helps if you don't have to work around your livingroom furniture as your wife stands there and makes fun of you :-)
Now........I'm starting to wonder about getting some tailored kilts made from this fabric.....hmmmmm
I will send pics when the right opportunity pops up
take care everyone
Wear your kilt proudly, but carry a big stick
