Rygar,
dude, you made the attempt and that counts for something! There are alot of us who simply don't have the guts or ambition to tackle the project, so give yourself a pat on the back for that.

As for the kilt itself, doesn't look bad at all from what I can tell from the pics. Your son certainly looks like he loves it! He did good with the scrunched socks and boots too. Tell him he looks great.
