A FANTASTIC deal on regimental Black Watch fabric surplus

Always a brides maid, never a bride.

Just kidding. I can't wait to see the kilts made out of this material. The seller of the fabric did feel sorry about the mix up on his end and has offered me the new RRS tartan at a very good reduced price. I may take up his offer - it is 16oz - not the really heavy weight material. So, the plan is to consider buying a WPG Gordon to be my winter kilt. As luck would have it my building was rented out for a day to film the series "Fringe" last week. so, unexpected money may = 16oz RRS material+wpg Gordon winter kilt = happiness

Looks good, did you buy or make your kilt?

**Hothir Ethelnor** · 20th December 09, 05:20 AM

I made it. (otherwise it probably wouldn't be done yet...)

Good job and great pics. How wide are those pleats?

**Hothir Ethelnor** · 22nd December 09, 10:05 AM

The pleats are about 3.6 inches wide.

That kilt looks great! I love that fabric. Too bad mine has to sit here until I can get around to doing something with it... I can't wait to see it turned into one of those box pleats... Well done!
