As any of you who said hi to me in the newbie forum know, I recently decided to hack my great kilt down into a regular kilt. I thought I'd post a little bit on it over here. The material is House of Tartan's Black Watch miniature, in their mediumweight PV. Not having the leather for straps (and no cash right now), I used fastex buckles off of some old packs that I had that weren't doing me any good just sitting around. There are two belt loops that hit on either side of my spine, and the under apron is adjustable. Here's some close ups of the loops and the buckles. (Shameless brag, notice how hard it is to discern that there are pleats under those loops! I'm damn proud of myself! Then again, black watch mini is insanely easy to pleat.) (also, sorry about the photo qual, my camera sucks.)
