Aye thank you. You're a beautiful man Robert Pel. Would this be the black or oxblood sporran?

Why thank you. The ladies think so too, especially when I'm in a leather kilt ;)
It would be this one accessories not included

I don't think I would use embroidery thread for a kilt.

And the pleats:

Hope this helps.

Just came out of all the frantic Burns Night preparations (and then recovery) and noticed this thread. My last "X-Kilt/X-Skirt" was a modification of both sets of instructions that Alan has made available, and has a reverse Kigussie. Also camo material, although a little different! I just used a brown thread.

Back view with center pleat just a little off, due to dancing before this picture was taken:

Front view:

Be well,

As does Panache

Well got my Multicam material the other day - Ripstop cotton/nylon. It's not true Crye Multicam, lighter hues but similar colours. I'm a little peeved but it's the only stuff I can get (aside from 500D Cordura nylon) and was only $7.99 a yard (you gets what you pays for I suppose).

Heard bad things about their lighter materials freying easily.

real Crye multicam is very costly isn't it?

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.
