Heavy Kilt

[emolas]

Just curious, was this ever taken any further? I've been thinking of making a pair of pants and possibly a kilt out of this material myself, and would love to know how it turns out.

Ugh, I can't even IMAGINE a pair of trousers made from a military wool blanket. I am curious as to the progress of the kilt though.

Heh, if I did trousers they'd be lined Surplus doesn't stock my size.

But I imagine a kilt made out of this material would be nice and toasty- which with the winters here would be quite wearable, I imagine.

Even with the well washed beaten smooth blankets I have they would have to be worn on the outside of something more skin friendly - the options were kilt or coat.

Just at the moment I have too much going on to be sewing, but hopefully things will settle down in a while.

I too am curious.

We use about 200 of these blankets per season. Perhaps I'll save some scraps for tinkering. I may have to pull out our old seam sealing press to get good pleats. Har.
