We are in agreement: It's Hallowe'en. Have fun.

What fluter said!!! LOL

Panache, you look great. I'm sure you two will arrange for the Lady to have a spot to rub. Carry on!

I tried to convince Jamie to go with this look for his MacBeth gig (tunic, trews, tartan mantle), but he just HAS to have bare knees!

I believe Jamie intends to employ artistic license.

Brian, I got in trouble for sitting like that in church.

Jamie,
If you are trying the "pleat it on the floor" method, there is no reason for the aprons to hang that low. Lay down with the bottom edge of the pleats at the height that you want then wrap the aprons around and belt in place. The aprons should be at the same height as the back just like in a modern kilt. It is very helpful to preposition your belt under the kilt before you lay down.

In that case, more pancake is in order:

I kind of like the tunic and trews look, meself.

The cool throne and the wolf hound help as well

OK, With just under 4 yards of 61" wide fabric I tried again.

It looks like I wasn't able to keep many of the pleats I put in when I belted it on. Also I am wearing it with my new Irish style Ionar doublet from Ravenswood Leather.

On to the pictures!

And for our Kilted Wanderer here are some pictures of the ironmongery

Better? Worse? Comments? Or maybe next year I should just go as Oberon?

Cheers
