Ordinarily I'd say watch out, because before you realize it you'll be making kilts and clothes and stuff all the time. I think you probably already know that.

Cheers, I have 8 now that I have made for myself. Got to start a new one in the next couple of days for a customer.
I make Jeans, Trousers Waistcoats etc. all the time or myself & commission work so used to it.

Speak for yourself! This Brit cannot relate to things metric, I cannot relate to centigrade, metres, hectares, litres etc, etc.. I still convert prices to Pounds, shillings and pence. A problem that many here have that were born too soon, I think.

Sorry for drifting off-topic-

But I grew up at a time when the US was planning to go "dual measurement", so we learned all of it in grade school (grades 2-5) and then the rest of America heaved a sigh of relief as the government gave up on metric measurements.
To this day Metric still make so much more sense to me than Imperial measurements.

It really shined through when I was technical scuba diving-

Rather than converting PSI to Cu Ft/min (for breathing rate) and then applying a division of 34' (freshwater) per atmosphere (14.7psi) - ALL for gas consumption at a given depth! There was a simple-

tank pressure in BAR, gas consumption in BAR/min, for depth 10m = 1 Bar = each 10m/1 your surface breathing consumption. All you had to do was divide your surface rate by your depth in 10m increments.

Things like gas absorption/saturation/off-gassing were when things got REALLY hairy in Imperial! Doubly & Trebly so if something went all pear-shaped and your first 3 gas-plans had to be scrapped so you had to do calculations on the fly.

Appears to be a good design. Post some wearing photos when you can. Like to see how it looks out-and-about....

Just posted pics in my album of my other new kilt just finished, here is a sample pic.SAM_1058.jpg

I agree. I like the kilt. I have been thinking of a contemporary kilt with a waistband like that. Any hints? (hmm... are we veering too far off topic?)
