Alt.Kilt

[Phicong]

To Techdragon, info others. I am the proud possessor(?) of an Amerikilt and I would hope that your Altkilts would be better made than this one. It has a loose sewn serging stitch on the hem and the looseness of the threads shows. It has a normal tendency for the waist band to roll over (I am 178 lbs and 5'8") so not from a rolling belly. Lastly and the most anoying concern is the fact that almost never can I get the snaps to close without pulling on the apron fabric in a very visable manner. If I would be sure that your snaps on the front would not pull and look like %^$*, I will probably buy one for no other reason for my summer wear.

Gordon,

I hem my kilts... I think it required to help fabric fall right (especially since it is done before the pleating) and use about 4 layers of fabric on the waistband to keep it in the right place.

Many of my gentleman friends are kilt wearers (being traditional or contemporary) and I have taken it upon myself to ask their lists of positive and negatives with multiple kilt styles. Yes, I prefer contemporary but I can and have wrapped a full 8 yard traditional kilt. I try to give people what they are looking for - which is why I only work custom... to solve people's personal problems with fit.
