Corduroy K-Kilt #1

Woaaaah- JELOUS!! JELOUS!!!!

That is a good looking kilt. Like the waist band and fittings. Width of apron should be just right too.

I also like the look of the sporan chain, maybe it would be possible to sew a strip of suede as a protector onto the back of the chain, so as to combine the look with protection for the kilt?

But really now - footware - even round the house you need something - suede boots? chunky hose? The crocs and stripy socks just don't cut it with such a handsome kilt.

It's as if I've pulled up to the house in a sparkly-new surprise BMW and my wife walks out and says "why did you install red spark plug wires?"

SHEEEEEEESH!!!!!!

(We have a no-shoes rule in the house so I have to wear my crocs. I'll see if I can get some outside pics today since the weather looks to be excellent.)

I agree with the sporran chain comments - a friend is a leatherworker so I'm going to hire him to make me some new accessories. I like the suede-backed chain idea.

I'm willing to bet those 1000 pts that I'm the ONLY corduroy kilt-wearer in Montana!

Well you go and make such an excellent kilt - stripy socks and crocs just will not do at all.

Now, a nine yard military box/Kinguisse wool blend pleated to the stripe has a swing to die for. I pinned together the one I am working on at the moment and it shimmies like a grass skirt on a hula dancer.

The cotton kilt with 50 pleats isn't a bad mover either.

However, there is something saddly wrong with the grey pinstripe. It is somehow skewed. I might have to take it apart and start over, or even abandon it entirely.

So much fabric, so little time.
