    It's not all THAT loud. I think it's quite nice, as a matter of fact. Good luck with the project. Can't wait to see how it comes out.

    It's Finished!

    I completed the kilt yesterday during half-time of my youngest son's lacrosse match. Successfully test drove it last night at my school's production of "Brigadoon."

    I don't have "action shots" yet. Will post them in the "Show us your Box-pleated kilts" style thread when I get a chance, but here are a few pics I snapped of it on my work table.

    Inside the over apron. Yes...I use Velcro to cinch the under apron. I take comfort very seriously!

    Very nice work! With that tartan I imagine Mrs. Tartan Hiker won't have too much trouble finding you when you are out and about. I look forward to seeing the required full pictures.

    Cheers
