Not wearing pants and you can't make me!

Greetings everyone, and THANK YOU ALL. I have been wearing a Great Kilt for several years now, Wallace of course, < the honors of bloodright> but only to events like Highland games and Fairs and suchlike.

After checking out your site and looking at the USA Kilts and UtiliKilt advertisements I determined that this was not outside my realm of capability. I am a stonecutter, woodcarver, and occasional leatherworker. I found usable instructions, great ideas and much help and good cheer as I worked on my first Kilt. It is forest green, Cotton/Poly twill, and I finished it last night. I dont think I could have done it without this site and the folks here. ( Pictures forthcoming. )

I already have several improvements in mind for the next ones. I plan on making a set, in the following colors and materials. Blue Demin with contrasting gold thread, antique brass snaps and hidden pockets, Canvas is an odd case, I found "Sueded", "Brushed" and " Peach" canvas, in khaki, black, light tan and chocolate. This fabric is medium weight < I am thinking 8 to 10 oz. maybe> and soft as butter. Not that any of you burly studly fellas would wear anything but horsehair or some such. <ebil grin> But I am not a big "chafing" fan. Soft, tough, wrinkle resistant, and easy to workwith and care for is what I am after.

Please Forgive the rambling post. I am just excited about the whole thing. Thank you all again.

Embrace te addiction!

The ladies down at the fabric shop will learn to call you by name. You know it's bad when they call you at home to ask if you have something they don't or letting you know a shipment just came in.
