Hey all!

Long time since I've really been on...school has been robbing my time, sanity, and soul for yet another year (3 semesters left after this one!).

Anyway, I am setting out to put my second and third X-Kilts into production. One will be a medium weight Mossy Oak camo for hunting and hiking (and, if I can get him to concede, to wear to a NWTF convention with my FiL).

The (possible) third, however, will be for cooler hunting and camping situations. Has any attempted making anything out of military issue wool blankets before? I used to have one that I used for everything, but it got traded off at a reenactment earlier this year.

A few questions about this fabric:
1) Does it hold a pleat well?
2) How should I go about lining it? The itchiness doesn't bother my legs, but other places...yeah...
3) Anyone got any tips for actually camouflaging the stuff? Olive drab will work quite well, but I would like to dye/paint/something to add a little something to it.

Thanks in advance. I'll post pictures of both kilts once they are finished (which, should be one solid weekend of work).
