    Poor man's great kilt

    Hi everybody,

    I'm back with one of my strange topics !

    As I regularly go to medieval/reenactment parties and fairs, I've been looking for a cheap way of getting dressed in a great kilt. After a few searches, I've found some tartan-like cloths, 6 foots by about 7 yards (1,5 x 6 meters). The only issue is that for budget reasons it must be around 6oz, I couldn't find heavier than this.

    Due to the lenght and the numerous pleats on the rear, I have no problems with the wind, but the front is really too light... And as I now regularly wear a heavyweight SWK, I feel really unconfortable now with my pseudo-great-kilt.

    Do you have an idea of how I could weight down a bit the cloth?

    Thanks for your help !

    EDIT: I made a typo in the title, it's "poor" and not "por" of course... If an admin could fix this please...
