Canvas Kilt, ACK!!!!

[toadinakilt]

My first was made with doc cloth from walmart... not as heavy as a UK workmans, but I assumed it'd be good enough for a work-like kilt.

Measured my hips just right, pleated it right, and standing it looks good... sitting... the pleats pull really bad.

I think it's not as much an issue with a wool kilt, as wool is a bit stretchier than canvas.

My second kilt was a cammo fabric, the hard, non-stretchy stuff the army uses. Added 3 inches (measure, sit, remeasure) and it fits just right sitting.

added three inches? where? in some random place? i do not understand...

Second hip measurement. When sitting, your hip measurement will generally be slightly larger, as you're pulling your legs up, kind of condensing the leg mass into the hip mass. At least, that's what I gather.
