Adding slant pockets to traditional kilt

[H. Hastings]

Hey! I recognize that kilt! (I still have some of that stabilizer fabric if you're interested Steve ....)

As someone who puts pockets into almost all the kilts I make I am going to say, I'm sorry, it would be almost impossible to retro-fit a traditional kilt.

The problem is not with the outer fabric but with all the stuff hidden behind the inner liner. A traditionally made kilt is perhaps one of the most tailored garments today. Akin to a custom made suit coat. The liner inside the kilt has no purpose but to cover up and hide what is underneath.

The primary characteristic of a traditionally made kilt is not the outer fabric but full floating interfacing, a strip called the stabilizer and of course the cut-away of the pleats to thin the back of the kilt.

Here is a peek to what is under the liner of a traditionally made kilt.
