    Your stitching looks ace and overall it looks like you did a great job for your first kilt. And pockets, yeah, you can spend all day deciding on how you want to make them. They're fun to make because there's so much you can do with them. I think your choices were solid. The angled corners on the flaps are a nice touch too.

    I know you didn't ask for a critique but I'm going to put a few little details out there for you anyway, in case you have plans for a #2. Definitely hem the bottom with a selvedge like this, as it's not a finished edge like you find on kilt cloth. It also gives your pleats a bit of extra weight at the bottom, which isn't a terrible thing with a lighter weight fabric. Also, if you do another camouflage fabric that's directional like this, I suggest that you cut it selvedge to selvedge to keep the pattern oriented correctly. It's a bit of extra work at the start but IMO it's time well spent once your kilt is done.
