Most of the people your hubby will meet won't know enough about kilts to even notice any mistakes.

No worries, I have my own kiltie on site (Bigdad1 aka Bob)

I am actually thinking of ordering some more commercial types online. PM if you want to look at some sites I found.

I'd be very interested in higher quality sources, thanks!

Syndie7, check out http://www.ykksnap-america.com/index.html

Since I live relatively close to these folks I am thinking of going to check them out. I am planning on calling this week.

YKK is a good brand, challenge is finding reasonable quantities of the specialty types at retail. Let us know if the factory has an outlet store!

Outstanding first effort. Makes my first several look pretty awful.

Keep encouraging him to wear it more, and sew on !

OUTSTANDING! Your husband is a lucky fellow.

OK, OK...you're lucky, too if he's doing some of the laundry!

You did a super job on his kilt, just super!
