Goin' to a Wedding, Formal in an X Marks
Last Saturday, my wife and I attended a black-tie wedding at the InterContinental Hotel in Buckhead (Atlanta), Georgia.
Here we are:
With Bonnet (left in car, was OVER 100 F):
Coverless:
Rear view of jacket and my X Marks (13 oz) kilt, repressed:
I made my bonnet, sporran, and flashes (out of worsted wool ribbon) and modded the jacket from a "thrift store special" double breasted.
The kilt is X Marks tartan (the other half of A Hay's) and box pleated for double sett and centered on the WIDE white on blue (using the WHOLE blue box). It is on the wide side, but great for those with rump measurements of 44/46 and over. Mine is 6 LARGE box pleats (to the yellow would have either been 12 w/ same apron width or 11 with a slightly wider apron).
Using the new material, I would HIGHLY recommend this pleat, as it hold the pleat a bit better than narrow boxes-> OR box pleat to sett with 1/2 sett facings (1.5 setts per pleat).
