I appreciate your comments and critiques.

I agree entirely that a doublet would have been better than the PC, but all I had on hand was the PC and going with no jacket at all would have been much worse. I am saving the pennies and dimes for the doublet as I write this.

As far as the comments about the great kilt and the modern elements not meshing well, that is great that you feel that way. Many people (if not most) feel that way about kilts as a whole group. If I followed their advice I would never have discovered the joy of wearing an 8 yard knife pleat kilt, or the pleasure of donning a well made modern utility kilt. I once attended a formal kilted event where most were wearing kilts with fly plaids, but one gentleman was wearing a great kilt. Next to the great kilt the fly plaids lost their luster and looked a little phony to me. Ever since then I have wanted to master a modern formal look with the great kilt. I know that it will not be pleasing to some and may offend a few, and for that I apologize, but to me the look is fantastic and I love it. Maybe its just the eccentric artist in me.

Now my real question is to the masters of the great kilt like Woodsheal who have been a great inspiration to me. This was one of my first attempts at pleating and belting on the plaid. How did I do? any tips for draping the fabric? Good alternative ways to wear the upper fabric?

Thanks in advance!
