Just a small point, but we seem to be embedding the spelling "Kinguisse" into our XMTS vocabulary, but I think it should be spelled "Kingussie", after the town in Scotland. I think there was a typo years back, and now the typo is the norm . . . anyway, off my soap box now.

Really I did not know. i shall edit my posts, if a Mod could edit the thread title it would be much appreciated. My appologies to any rabble from Kingussie. Thanks Macman for the heads up.

Everybody seems to be making reverse Kingussie kilts now - oh well - it just shows that once a good idea gets out there is no holding it back.
Light materials which fray easily could definitely do with a strip of tape added to the hemline.
If it is put on after the pleats are pressed it then it will help to hold them, as it can be made shorter at the folds where it is inside, and longer at folds where it is on the outside.
Before the fabric has time to fray, making a sewing machine done edge of triple zig zag or overlocking, or several rows of simple zig sag if the machine is older/simpler should hold it during the pleating, and then it can be folded up and hidden under the tape, so making it nice and neat.
White tape can be dyed darker with strong tea so it is less noticable.

Hey Grant,
check this out. it's the guy who makes the vests and gear for Special Ops paintball. I think the apron is too narrow, but still, it's pretty cool. And the sporran.....man that thing is sooooooo KILLER!

a close up of the sporran. I so dig the SpecOp logo's on the tassles

Grant just remember if you are going to wear tights with your kilt make sure they are MANLY GREEN TIGHTS! (somewhere in New Zealand Graham winces in pain)
Here is my Predator Camo X Killt
