Kilt of a Different Material?

**MacWage** · 29th June 07, 07:42 PM

The section says:
"A place to discuss old kilts, new kilts, red kilts, blue kilts..."

I HAVE to ask:

Has ANYONE ACTUALLY MADE a DUCK/DUCT TAPE kilt?

OR

What other VERY "non-traditional" materials have you used?

I thought about doing that, but then I realized I would need so much that my tail lights would fall off.

Can't get my hands on it but the secretary at my daughter's school showed me a photo of her son in his duct tape kilt that he made for some school function...it was very impressive and he did a sporran, too. Obviously, duct tape trousers were too much of a challenge...

I haven't made a kilt in too non-traditional of a material. Yet. I've done PV, canvas, and denim so far. I am thinking of silk though. Denver fabrics has a very hefty silk (about 7 oz. per square yard) that I think might be nice, but I haven't checked out a swatch of it yet. I've also been thinking of a moleskin or ultrasuede with silk or satin contrasting inner pleats. (Somewhat like PK used to do.) My kiltmaking activities are on hold however, until I can get a little ways out of the hole I'm in right now though. Great thread, I hope to see some interesting stuff in this one.
