    I'm putting velcro on the next set of pockets I make. That way you can stash your cash and still keep things neat. O'Neille

    Now there's a thought ... I've avoided velcro on kilts since becoming more educated but the pockets do need closure ...

    Nice kilt, looks to be well constructed.

    That's sharp!

    I like it, amigo. My poor tired old eyes can't make out the old rank insignia, though----are those corporal's, or sergeant's stripes?

    Man, I just HATE guys who can do this sort of thing (and I mean that in the very nicest way possible!) . . .




    best,

    Your eyes are better than you think, they are Sergeant stripes.

    I think that the hardest part of making these is just jumping in and getting started. If you have a little patience, I think anyone can do these types of kilts. That being said, I am not sure I would ever try a traditional kilt without some type of formal instruction.

    Nice work Scott,

    No clue how you guys do it...

    I have one of the old AmerKilts tiger stripe camo kilts. They just went ahead and ran the stripes vertically.





    Probably too distant to see much, but might give you an idea what it would have looked like vertical....think you made the right choice though.

    That's rather neat. I usually don't care for camo (outside of it's uses for concealment), but tigerstripe is more or less my favourite pattern.

    Out of curiosity, those of you who own camo kilts... ever wear them for hunting? Would you? Just a thought... a way to use the garment both as comfort, and as a more practical application of the fabric.

    Nice job there. The kilt pin looks sort of like a bird sitting on a baseball. I wonder what it could possibly be?
