Or you could totally hang the velcro and use some variation on straps buckles, etc. to close your X-Kilt.

Right-o! I've made 6 X-kilts and no two are identical. Many paths lead to great truths, grasshopper.

that I found somewhere. Industrial strength, too. I cut it down to 2".
I ended up moving the front apron to seam by the waistband down by 1/2 inch at the opening, so had to shift the whole thing anyhow. I sewed bits of velcro on in several places, right at the waistband. I aslso had some VERY small buckles that I used temporarly until I get some larger ones. It works.

Still need to do sme final adjustments. He is wearing it, and is pleased. He is use to traditional kilts and wider front aprons. The 10 inches I used is a bit hard for him to get use to, but he is adjusting. I believe it needs snaps or buttons down the sides of the front apron. It looks like it is just missing something.

Overall, it took me about 12 hrs.

Thank you Alan!

I have a question.

In the beginning of the construction stages, where one is sewing on the Velcro to the Over-Apron Strip, it states to put the velcro 1.25 inches down from the top edge. If the strip is 3 inches, and the velcro is 2 inches, that puts the velcro off the bottom edge of the strip!

HELP!

I can see that you have already solved the problem, but I couldn't help taking a dig at poor Alan! I noticed the same problem, see here:

We have had the same question several times...Alan, it's time to edit the instructions!

Be well,
