Some of you follow Freedom Kilts on Facebook. I posted that this last weekend Bobbie and I took the ferry over to the mainland. During the ferry crossing I put the final stitches in a Black Watch Tartan kilt that I have been making for myself.
This fabric is in the weathered colorway. 16oz weight.
I choose to pleat to the black stripe in the way that most Black Watch kilts are done due to the size of the Sett.
This is a full Contemporary Kilt.
Hand-Stitched
3 pockets
Designed to be worn at mid-rise.
Here I am on the ferry. Bobbie says that I got a lot of looks from the other passengers.
The required pleat shot
The rear. (yes I had been sitting on the pleats all day)
And yes, this kilt has pockets
This is an example that a Contemporary kilt can approach the look of a Traditional kilt.
Durability -
It has the internal left strap so no strap hole that would cause a weak point.
It has the full floating interfacing for vertical stiffness and to allow the fabric to swish and drape naturally. The swish on this kilt is amazing.
It has the full contemporary style stabilizer to resist the stresses of strapping the kilt on without the fabric distorting.
Fit -
This kilt is designed to fit at mid-rise.
Fabric -
This kilt is hand-stitched from 9.13 yards of 16oz wool.
Pockets -
This kilt has 2 side slash pockets and an under-apron pocket.
