Elephant's Child
Like the Elephant's Child before me, I possess an insatiable curiosity...
So how does one construct a lined kilt, like Pittsburgh Kilts sells? And I'm not talking about building my own just yet, I'm just curious to know how they do it. Is the flannel sewn down to the entire length of denim, then pleated and cut and sewn etc like it was all one piece, or is the flannel added in strips underneath the pleats after the kilt has been constructed? Or...is it all done with smoke and mirrors?
What about the two-tone? Those look cool. Does he just make a "skirt" looking kilt with a length of cloth cut at intervals to create strips, then sew pieces of pleated cloth in between to create pleats? Or is it all sewn together before pleating and sewing etc...
