18th Century Great Kilt

[OC Richard]

That's a great uniform!

Does your bonnet have a tuft of bear fur? I've read about that somewhere, but I don't recall what it was about.

So nice to see everything done well, with authentic 18th century shoes, hose, garters, sporran, and all.

The hose look to be the correct ones cut from woven yardage and sewn. I made a pair years ago using the pattern in Sketchbook 76 and they came out great.

I've always liked those shoes, with the real functional buckles, better than the 19th century Victorian Highland shoes with nonfunctional buckles.

Well done!

EDIT: I just noticed the dirk, how cool, that old style with the knife and fork side-by-side.
