Great job, Andres!

I had the pleasure of traveling through Guatamala 33 years ago & was very impressed with the quality & beauty of the weaving done there. I still have a beautiful tablecloth (w/ napkins) adorned with quetzals.

And speaking of quetzals (the national bird of Guatamala), perhaps you could use something like this for a kilt pin.

Hi lads.

Today I take some pics for the company demo video. So here it is the Guatemalan tartan Kilt almost finished but very weareable. just a pair of buclets and leather straps.

This are not a detail pic but is better than nothing.

I borrow a litle broch with a etnic design but is not a Quetzal an is a litle small.

The belt buckle is an Azteca motiv.

I will post soon with more pics and questions.

I was very impressed with the craftsmanship in your first kilt, and this one is also a very good effort. Good job!

When I first saw this thread, I was concerned, because of the small sett size, that your kilt was going to end up looking too much like a corte, but I'm glad to say I was wrong. It definitely looks like a kilt.

Now I want one!

I'd like to see a pleat shot, though.
