Thanks Jimmy, I know that the solid kilt you made was traditional cut. would the same pleat set-up work if I made the kilt to sit where I would wear Jeans/shorts?
As I have a slight bulge on the stomach region If I were to make a traditional the taper would be interesting.
I have also found some cotton twill fabric thats the same as what my AK is made of, $8/metre so by going on your mesurements I can make 2 kilts for $40. If I make a mess of the first I havent wasted a lot of cash!
Cheers Andrew
