Where did you find the material? When I have found fashion tartan material like that I am concerned it will be too light weight to make a kilt.

Joann fabrics, out of their platitudes collection. It's a little light, but nowhere near as light as their flannel selection. You have to be careful with them, they just see "plaid" and stack it all together sometimes.

Good on ya. Congratulations on your kilt.

From a kiltmaker, one of the factors that is causing your pleats to hang ////// is the way you sewed the pleats in the Fell.

If you will look at the Fell area you can see that the horizontal lines of the Tartan do not line up. They give a sort of stair step look.

If you take a lot of care insuring when you sew that the lines of the Tartan are perfectly aligned it will allow the pleats to hang a bit straighter.

Also, with your large thighs it may help the pleats to lay smoother in the front and sides if your apron were a bit wider. On a Traditional kilt the apron is about 1/2 of the waist.

All and all a good kilt. Congratulations.

Thanks Steve, long time no talk.

It's a heck of a lot better than the none that I've made so far;)

Thanks.
