    FINISHED!! My first Box Pleat!!

    Hey y'all-
    I decided to go with a box pleat with the 18OZ Peebles Co. MacKenzie material, since I would NEVER be able to wear a tank made of this material year round. I used the box pleat supplement to TAoKM along with my MNBP as a template of sorts. Finished product is....a little rough in areas (Especially the trim...gotta work on that, the fitting is a little off in the waist, and the kilt is 26 inches in length and I'm a 25 , so i had to put an extra buckle on as wll as 2 belt loops-You can see them in the pic-They make the stripe look like its curving on 2 of the stripes on the fell). Everything else worked out fine. Had to use the machine at times, but all-n-all, very proud and I'm gonna wear it today. Here are the pics (Don't cringe Matt)-
