woudl it be considered a crime to turn Tartans in a similar way? I have seen some fabrics that have a very strong stripe that when made into a kilt woudl create a less than attractive (IMHO) pattern across the back end. but if turned that strong stripe coudl be quite interesting to work with. It would mean piecing the fabric to get the proper yargdage but the seams could be hiddne inthe pleats...

woudl this be a crime against huimanity in the kilted courts & get me excommunicated from the tribe???
Colin you can just admit it's me....a pinstripe kilt suit at teh closing night party of the Bingham Cup...now THAT would be hot....
