Putting finishing tweaks on my first X-kilt (lessons learned)

[Waynetho]

Using a wool fabric with stripes woven in is so much easier to pleat than any other type of fabric.

Be sure to get the right measurements - measure, mark and then measure again, count the repeats of the pattern so you are absolutely certain that you are right.

Thanks Anne. Due to cost constraints, I was forced to but PV instead of wool for my traditional that I'll be starting in a week or so.

As to the denim RevK that I'm still futzing over, I'm not happy with the fabric straps because the apron can sag as a result. I am waiting for my order of two sets of three 1.25" wide replacement straps and buckles and I plan to revise the closures on the RevK with leather straps now.
