    thanks for the positive comments. I only had a few days to get it together.

    the material is something he has had for years and is enough to cover him the way he likes, but he wants to wear his tartan also. I can't argue with that. Our next project is to save up enough to purchase a Lewis kilt, just hard coming up with the fundage. I have yet to find the colors in a price range i like and i don't think i will. After this weekend when faire is over i will probably take it apart again and make sure everything is the way it's supposed to go. I had no reference on how to put a kilt together. Litterly just winged it and i know it shows. Important thing is he gets to wear a kilt to faire and the scottish games.

    LadyLewis,

    The type of kilt your husband is wearing is called a Great Kilt. The pleats on this type of kilt are not normally sewn down. Here is some information on wearing the Great Kilt:

    I'm in a great kilt for almost an entire month out of every year (one week straight, then odd weekends and days doing demos and stuff.)

    If you've any questions about the great kilt, just ask.
