Nice look.
Well done for your first kilt.

The waist coat was from a simplicity pattern.

Wow! I'm really impressed! The waistcoat looks awesome!

The fabric was a bottomweight solid twill from Joann fabric store. Color is potted soil. http://www.joann.com/sew-classic-bot...33/#pro_colors

the whole outfit looks very good. i especially echo the praise for the waistcoat. i have been poking around civil war/old west sites looking for something like that.

is that the whole outfit or with there be other doo dads? -- your outfit screams for a hat.

it is always nice to match your dog.

Sadly, not my dog, I have beagles. I actually match them better. I wanted a hat, but i had to make my outfit and my wife's in 5 weeks. I did mod a nerf gun and steampunk it out a bit it was great for the costume, if a bit silly. The Kilt didn't hold up to well. I need to learn more about sitting without wrinkling the material, or make it out of a better material.
