Kilt w/Frugal Corner material
Clickable pic:

I told Mark that I would give a review of this material as I started working on the kilt. I purchased 3 yds of the 13oz Hunting Stewart. At first sight, I was impressed with the colors. It has a nice feel to it, meaning soft. Many have wandered about the actual weight of the material. Measuremens of the material are 117inX53in. This peice weighed 27oz. By my calculations, a 36x36 (square yard) equals 5.64oz. So where does the 13oz come from? My assumption is that a 53x53 in peice weighs approx 13 oz. But I'm ok with this. I knew it was going to be light. I was planning on making a casual style box pleat kilt anyway.
However, I should have studied the Hunting Stewart tartan before hand. It is asymetrcal. This means I'm goin to have to hem this kilt. Which I didn't want to have to do. This is not Frugal's fault, it is mine. So beware if you want to buy this tartan to make a kilt. Buy it by the total length and not by splitting. It wll make it much easier on you. The slevedge is similar to SWK. I little rough, but decent enough in my opinion. As I continue to work on the kilt, I'll continue the review.
