Did I dream it? X-pleated XMTS kilt
I could swear that, sometime during my surfing in the past week or so, I saw a photo of an XMTS kilt that was pleated to make the Saltire in the back. I haven't been drinking lately but I have been missing a lot of sleep [reading this forum], so it's possible that this is an hallucination.
Does this sound familiar to anyone? I've been trying to retrace my steps but to no avail.
P.S. Can't wait until the fabric is available again. I usually don't care much for the color blue but I think the design is really beautiful.
Thanks for any help!

It may have been that you are thinking of this, which is similar but not the right tartan. http://www.usakilts.com/theme_kilts.php
Otherwise, my first thought was that steve from freedomkilts had made such a kilt, but when I checked the site I could only find pics of an xmarks kilt pleated to the stripe.
