Guatemalan tartan Kilt

[AndresPapousek]

This is a paint of a San juan Sacatepuez women wearin a traditional "corte" (skirt) and a Huipil (shirt).

you can see that the corte has the same patern that my kilt. In Guatemala they made like in Scotland, a patern for a region. Then scotland tartan mutate to be a family distintion but in guatemala it is still regional.

San Juan Sacatepequez :


San Pedro Sacatepequez: (very similar)

Great job, Andres!

I had the pleasure of traveling through Guatamala 33 years ago & was very impressed with the quality & beauty of the weaving done there. I still have a beautiful tablecloth (w/ napkins) adorned with quetzals.

And speaking of quetzals (the national bird of Guatamala), perhaps you could use something like this for a kilt pin.

Hi lads.

Today I take some pics for the company demo video. So here it is the Guatemalan tartan Kilt almost finished but very weareable. just a pair of buclets and leather straps.

This are not a detail pic but is better than nothing.

I borrow a litle broch with a etnic design but is not a Quetzal an is a litle small.

The belt buckle is an Azteca motiv.

I will post soon with more pics and questions.

Cool! It came out real nice!

[Alan H]

That is beyond cool. It's a real Guatemalan tartan kilt.

This rocks.

Thanks Alan

I apreciate your opinion (your instructions help me a lot in my XKilt and in this too)

BTW, more traditional kilts are much easier to iron!
that is a good reason to make an extra effort with knife pleats and plaids!

Now is time to rock concert! tomorow I want to finish the kilt.

Salu!
