How Many X-Marks tartan kilts?

[Alan H]

who has one, or has the material to make one, and a gleam in their eye?

Counting the second run, which had to be re-done because it was damaged, there's been a total of 60 yards of double-width X-marks tartan woven (I think...izzat right, Steve?) If half of the kilts that were made from that were 4-yarders which need 2 yards of double-width cloth) , and half were 8 yarders (which need 4 yards of double-width cloth), then that would mean that roughly 20 X-Marks tartan kilts have been made, or are under construction.

Here's a quick list of guys that I know have one...

Me..I have a six-yard knife pleat I made from the first run
Steve Ashton, of course!
Panache's is under construction at way2fractious's house
way2fractious, made by himself at Elsie's Kilt Workshop
Tartan Hiker has yardage for one, 2+ yards
I have yardage for another one, 2+ yards
Moosedog has yardage 2+yards...whatcha gonna make, Moosedog?
Cameron Taylor has one (made by Steve)
Kiltedcodewarrior has one (where are you these days, KCW?)
Riverkilt has a Kathy Lare
O'Neille has made a beauty from the damaged-selvedge stuff
McMurdo has a 5 yard from CCK
efer has a Tewksbury! woooooooooooo
andyfg made himself a nice box-pleat
starbkjrus also has a box-pleat, I htink from Matt
possingk has one of the few USAKilts X-Marks kilts
Blu also has a Tewksbury! someday I'm gonna have my very own Tewksbury!
Robin has a Tewks, too!
Davedove has one from Kathy Lare
Inaki ALSO has a USA Kilts X-marks! I dinnae remember that 'till I searched!
Wompet, I think you might have a box-pleat from Matt Newsome
And Hamish, but of course!!!

And that's everybody I know about and that a quick forum search revealed. 22 X-marks tartan kilts have been made, or a gleam in someone's eye. Wait, there's a gentleman here from Scotland who also has one, but I forget who it is. He posted pics a while ago! 23 kilts?

Who did I miss?

Matt, did you ever make one for yourself? If so, I want to see pics! Rocky? MacHummel?

[Hendry]

I've got a CCK coming my way in the next month or two depending on Machummel's schedule.

[Alan H]

MacWage, I missed your box-pleat!
The F-H.C.A.G. has her X-Marks cheerleader skilted miniskirt
Panache and the F-H.C.A.G.'s lad, Sinbad has an X-Marks kilt crafted by his mum!.
A-Hay!...has a Matt Newsome box-pleat

that's 27!!!

......and Hendry's CCK makes 28!

Matt and Steve, and all who participated in this craziness eighteen months ago....who would've guessed!

[McMurdo]

Here is mine from Canadian Casual Kilts, perhaps others could post their pictures here

[Alan H]

Here's a rare sight...three X-Marks tartan kilts, all together. I'm hoping that there will be FIVE of them at the 2008 Nor Cal Burns Night supper!



Pleatwork



Left to right....

Alan H, self made 6 yard knife pleated, pleated to "no stripe"
Cameron Taylor, Freedom Kilt 8 yard, pleated to the yellow stripe
way2fractious, self-made 8 yard pleated to sett

[Alan H]

And if...IF there are five X-Marks tartan kilts at the NorCal Burns night, every one will be different.

6 yard knife-pleat to no stripe, 8 yard knife pleat to the yellow stripe, 8 yard to the sett, 8 yard military box pleat, and 4 yard box pleat. THAT would be fun!

[Steeplechase]

Another Newsome boxpleat here.

[Mark Keeney]

I have material to have one made, too.

[Splash_4]

I also have the material for a 9 yarder from Kathy Lare when I return from India.

With the advent of 'Delhi Belly' and other maladies, I am shrinking away.....

[Tattoo Bradley]

I have the cloth (from the "damaged" stuff.... though I lucked out and got some with no damage from what I see) for a box pleat. I'm trying to pull the money together to get it sewn up.
