    Hunting Kilt

    I was wondering if anyone has made a hunting kilt. I found some fabric I think might work its 12oz cotton poly blend in camo pattern with base color blaze orange. aka hunters orange.

    found here for 7.99 a yard by 60 inches.

    If this fabric wont work maybe someone might know of a place that offers something that will work.

    Shipping weight is lists as 12oz per yard, which would make this on the light side, but it is a twill. I would consider 3 yards and a double box pleat to add some weight. Still only $24 for material. It would make a great alternative to 'pink death'!

    How about these?



    They're all 6 yards, knife pleated with 6" deep pleats and 1.5" reveals.
    Just be sure you get a poly/cotton blend or the wrinkles will drive you crazy.

    I had seen these. part of why I had the idea to make a hunting kilt. Hunting requirements are that I wear 2 items that are blaze orange I just figured why not make the kilt one of those 2 items i have to wear. who knows maybe my 2 items will be a blaze camo kilt and a matching day plaid.

    Is there a minimum amount of square inches that must be orange?
