My first belted plaid

[Ancienne Alliance]

Hi everyone,
I have been craving for a great kilt for years. Searching out on internet I found information on belted plaids, and it seemed to me a good idea to quench my thirst in an immediate and economical way. I found some fabric on ebay and started folding and wrapping.

It became obvious to me that I had to cheat and stich and sew to give the kilt a "cleaner", more formal look. This is the result :

This is more or less what a banished or exiled Highland gentleman in the late 18th century would wear on the continent (France or Germany)... err, sort of:
