Yardage needed?
I currently find myself in a situation of all my kilts starting to outgrow me. Last year when I started kilting I picked up a 48"waist OTR kilt that was snug at its largest hole. Since then I have dropped down to 46" OTR kilts and now they are wanting to migrate south when I wear them if I don't have a belt on.
I know your all crying on the inside for me
Anyway my plans are to get a kilt made with the Smith tartan. Marton Mills sent me a sample of the Jura range in the 16oz that I really like. I'm just about ready to pull the trigger and order the fabric but I'm trying to figure out costs. Such as how much fabric will I need. Ideally I want a kilt at natural waist pleated to stripe. I like the idea of pleating alternating red and yellow but not opposed to going with one or the other. all my OTR kilts are pleated to the set so I really like the idea of getting pleated to a stripe for my first non-OTR kilt.
