Buckskin Cilt ?

[Spartan Tartan]

I think, with deer skin rather than bovine, the swing might actually be rather interesting. And you might get somewhat of a barrel pleat effect, as the deer hide will not take a crease... just one step beyond the "soft press" pleats the I've heard Bob Martin mention.

I think this idea is really worth a try.

Why won't deer hide "take a crease"?

The pleat "creases" on my Utilikilt leather and RKilt leathers are sewn in - so they hold.

I know that at the old location for Saint Andrews pub in NYC they had a buckskin Kilt hanging on the wall in a frame. I dont know if it is on display at the new location. I did not see it the last time I was there.

In the interest of lowland science and the amusement of the rabble, I shall take on this challenge and record my efforts for posterity, or hilarity...whichever comes first. BUT BE FOREWARNED !!!! This will take me a very long time. The skins are in the deepfreeze and are yet to be tanned, this too shall be a first time learning experience. I shall post photos as i progress.
Already thinkin of turning the tail into a sporran

Ask the deer.

Why? Just shave the other one so they will grow together, people won't notice.
BTW, Never hide or be ashamed of a scar. It's part of you now.

Besides, chicks dig scars.

...especially if the scar can smile at them.

But, doesn't your hand get tired holding it smile out?

I never get tired of making a fist... and it's out most of the time anyway.
