This is truly wonderful. I _love_ your style of writing and all the advice you built in. What a terrific resource for someone who wants to make a contemporary kilt!

Thanks for taking the time to put together such a comprehensive guide on building one's own X-kilt and sharing it with the group.
On page three, you state: "As of right now, no other contemporary kiltmaking company that I know of making box-pleated kilts, so we’re not stepping on anyone’s toes, here."
In fact, there is a company in San Diego that makes box-pleated contemporary kilts, though we have not discussed them in xmarksthescot. I posted a photo of one of these kilts in the Do's and Dont's thread some time ago, but the subject was whether a kilt looked good with western wear. The company is MacLeo, which mostly deals in leather/fetish wear. The kilt can be seen here and here. I think they retail for about $200, if I recall my conversation with one of the the store owners.
Still, I don't think you are stepping on any toes, given the design of your kilt and its purpose. I just thought you might want to know that the concept is out there already.

Somehow saying thank you does not seem to be enough, but what more can I do?
Thank you. I'll get to work on one very soon.

Oh, how I wish I had the brain to follow these 'simple' instructions! I am so sorry Alan, but this is absolutely beyond me! However, I am very pleased that so many other X Markers ARE able to tackle it. Well done.

Love the X Kilt
Began working on my X Kilt last weekend and I'm almost done. (The long weekend for labor day helped move me along) . I've just finished sewing down the pleats above the fell and gave it a quick test fit. My wife was genuinely surprised at how well its coming out. Can't wait to finish it, I'll try to post some pictures when I get done.
