Thanks for the compliment.

Actually making a kilt was one of the easier things I
have done. It is a bit fun handling that much fabric
but there is not much measuring, cutting, and matching
pieces together.

Making buckskin clothing is a real challenge. Not only
do you have all of the usual problems, but you also
have to deal with unusual shaped pieces (you don't
get too many deer that have several yards of skin
rolled up) and varying thicknesses on each piece.
Not only that, but it is very resistant to penetration,
so sewing it is hard, (so the sewing machine refuses
and I ended up doing it by hand).

I don't plan on making a kilt from buckskin. I made
the buckskins I have for use in heavy brush because
it resists thorns, and I certainly don't intend to work
in heavy brush with the limited protection a kilt
would provide.

Sorry to take so long to get here, but I just want to add my welcome to the list.
