Photos. Drat. I knew I was forgetting something. Hmmm... I'll see about squeezing my digicam in the sporran when I go out tonight and get a bud to snap a few for ya.
I'm getting the hang of the sweep and tuck it's easy to remember to do, the problem I'm having there is doing it well. I noticed a few wrinkles from the last time I sat.
I intended on going into more detail on the fit in the first post but it skipped my mind. Ok, the length and waist are perfect, the fell is 2 inches shorter than it needs to be (were it a tailored kilt) and the hip is just barely too short so the pleats to the immeadiate (sp) sides of the aprons are a little stressed. But other than that I love everything about it.
There's supposed to be a pretty bangin party tonight and I think I'll make my first appearance among my friends at this party. That should be most interesting.

Good first day! The band probably isn't really concerned if they are a contemporary band. I went to a guys night with some of my church buddy's in my PK MarPat and the firs tthing said was "Hey, who invited the skirt?" It was meant in fun and since the night was a "guy's night" it was in a funny context. The other military guys and the Vietnam Era Special Forces Colonel that was there appreciated the kilt for what it was.

The pleat adjustment is something you learn to work with on a cotton contemporary kilt. It will improve as you wash it and it softens but you will have to tuck the pleats on the front sides in after sitting or squatting.
