OK Beverly, .. i guess i sort of asked for that , but I was actually thinking more along the lines of specific texts that you could recommend, from personal experience?

Unfortunately, most of my formal learning came from drafting for women which is a topic that has a lot more texts available. The ones I know about will show up on the google search, but I couldn't recommend any of them from personal experience. If you can, taking a course on pattern drafting will be just as beneficial. Even if you can only find pattern drafting course for women's garments, the fundamentals are all the same and can transfer to men's pattern drafting relatively easily.

Less than $200.00 US is really a doable thing. Thanks for the info. It's good to know. It would really be nice to have a form to strap a kilt-in-progress to without having to rig something special.

@Beverly; thanks for the info on pattern drafting. I'm still working up the nerve to actually try making myself a vest. Kiltmaking is a snap, but when I look at cutting and piecing fabric, my brain addles. The Kent State School of Fashion offers classes for this, but they run a full semester and nothing is done quickly. There are no week long kiltmaking classes like Braemar. AND, they're VERY expensive!!!

Thanks again for all the information everyone!
