    Unusual Kilt

    Hello!

    So, I have a situation - or rather my cousin has a situation. His wife purchased him a kilt from the Minnesota Renaissance Festival a few years ago. However, neither of them have a clue how to properly put it on. They were shown the day they purchased it but now that its been a few years they don't have a clue.

    I went to the Festival with them this past weekend and was giving him a hard time for not wearing it and came to find out they didn't know how to put it on. After hours and hours of searching, I can't find anything that looks like what she bought him. However, the deed is done and this very expensive material is just gathering dust. I am hoping I can find a solution here and surprise them with a solution so he can wear this

    This looks nothing like a great kilt nor any other variation I've been able to find online. It measures:

    Length: 17 feet or about 5.6 yards
    Width: 27 1/2 inches
    It has some pre-sewn pleats which are 24 inches worth of pleats

    I'm going to try to attach a picture I took of it on the end of my bed so you can see how short it is. There isn't really a way to fit the entire length in a photo so I just snapped where the pleats were. Its just super narrow compared to everything I'm seeing and crazy long as well.

    Do any of you have any idea how to wear this? It did come with a very simple leather belt and a broach type pin which I believe they intend it to be fastened at the shoulder (I can not think of the proper name at the moment).

    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much!Kilt.jpg
