And here it is! The XMarks kilt made by Barb...8 yards, pleated to the sett. Awesome craft(wo)manship! superbly well made and it fits like a glove The fabric is somewhat lighter as that of my other mediumweight kilts, but that's perfect for the summer. The colors are less vibrant as I expected...a bit dull, but I like them. The bleeding white stripe near the selfedge is a pitty, but I'm probably the only one who'll ever notice it...a B- for the fabric. It's a wonderful kilt and Barb really made it to perfection...an A+ for Barb...Highly recommended kiltmaker!

Good looking kilt. Thanks for the shot from the back. Nice hang, and yes, it certainly looks to be perfectly tailored. There's nothing quite like the way a full eight-yard kilt drapes. I like the slightly muted colors, too. Very tasteful. Regards, Scott Gilmore
Robin, A very handsome kilt, well presented, in a lovely garden. Well Done! Cheers
