    Cool This is one for the Contemporary Kilt guys.

    So I am in the process to finish my seventh kilt, and while I am working I am already envisioning the future of my kilt collection, as I am quite excentric and enjoy wearing bright obnoxious colors like neon yellow and green as examples. One Kilt I am going to be making is going to be a reverse kingussie style kilt in a black poly/cotton blend but I am going to be outlandish and use neon yellow thread to make the stitching noticeable. I will be posting pictures here on xmarks as soon as I have this beasty under control.

    Totally did it! Started at about 10 pm and was alert enough to go til 3 am and then went to bed and got up at 7:30 am and finished it by 8:45 am! Pics will come later, its based off of the x-kilt design with 2 5/8" box pleats at 13 pleats and a 12" over and under aprons! Will post pics either later today or tomorrow morning!

    So my Internet is glitchy, I'll end up posting the kilt when I can actually use my computer to post the pics!

    At first I was going to say it was wrapped to the wrong side, then realized it was a mirror image. Short? I couldn't tell. I'm only 5'6" so I nguess I'm short too.
