Rocky for sure, but I haven't been able to find any pics of the X Marks kilt(s)he's sewn up.
And yes, was Ham who had Geoffrey (tailor) Kiltmakers sew up his X Marks kilt.

I've got an Xmarks kilt that I had built by a local gal by the name of Lydia Bode. She works out of her home doing repairs on kilts and building kilts for people in the Portland OR area. Someday soon I hope to drag myself out of the mid-twentieth century and be able to post photos.
My Xmarks fabric was actually featured on local TV last S. Patrick's day. Lydia was in the process of building my kilt and the local ABC affiliate did a live remote at The Scottish Country Shop in Portland so she took the fabric to show how a kilt was constructed and the differet pleating styles. I was there in my Stillwater Irish National along with several other kilted gentlemen. (Does that qualify my Xmarks kilt as the first one to be on TV?)

Sorry KT
My bad.
If you'd sucked down as much booze as I have your brain would have some short circuits too.
See, another reason to get organized and have a little X Marks tartan gallery on board.

Sorry about this Ron. I am trying to catch up with everything here but think I'm going at it all too quickly. I'm not clear whether you want us all to post photos of our X Marks kilts, or whether you are asking for images from those who have not posted them previously.
If you need anything from me, just let me know.

Trying to accumulate photos...apparently the old photos on show us your pics roll off after a while to keep the site use down so a lot of the old ones are gone.
Was also suggesting on the techie thread that there be a sub forum of show us your pics for X Marks tartan kilt pics. Think Mike was looking for someone to maintain/monitor such a sub forum.
Gotta tell you its really cool to see all the different X Marks tartan kilts. Right now the few pics I have are just on my 'puter.

Don't forget KCW XMarks Box pleat kilt done by Matt ...pleated to the yellow stripe, I believe.
I, too, have 4 meters of XMark tartan waiting to be made into a by Barb T.
But not until early 2007 my delay not Barb's
Great Pics, Robin! Love the Tan/Khaki with the kilt.
Riverkilt,
I think having a gallery of all XMark kilts is a great idea!
Cheers,
