    How Many X-Marks tartan kilts?

    who has one, or has the material to make one, and a gleam in their eye?

    Counting the second run, which had to be re-done because it was damaged, there's been a total of 60 yards of double-width X-marks tartan woven (I think...izzat right, Steve?) If half of the kilts that were made from that were 4-yarders which need 2 yards of double-width cloth) , and half were 8 yarders (which need 4 yards of double-width cloth), then that would mean that roughly 20 X-Marks tartan kilts have been made, or are under construction.

    Here's a quick list of guys that I know have one...

    Me..I have a six-yard knife pleat I made from the first run
    Steve Ashton, of course!
    Panache's is under construction at way2fractious's house
    way2fractious, made by himself at Elsie's Kilt Workshop
    Tartan Hiker has yardage for one, 2+ yards
    I have yardage for another one, 2+ yards
    Moosedog has yardage 2+yards...whatcha gonna make, Moosedog?
    Cameron Taylor has one (made by Steve)
    Kiltedcodewarrior has one (where are you these days, KCW?)
    Riverkilt has a Kathy Lare
    O'Neille has made a beauty from the damaged-selvedge stuff
    McMurdo has a 5 yard from CCK
    efer has a Tewksbury! woooooooooooo
    andyfg made himself a nice box-pleat
    starbkjrus also has a box-pleat, I htink from Matt
    possingk has one of the few USAKilts X-Marks kilts
    Blu also has a Tewksbury! someday I'm gonna have my very own Tewksbury!
    Robin has a Tewks, too!
    Davedove has one from Kathy Lare
    Inaki ALSO has a USA Kilts X-marks! I dinnae remember that 'till I searched!
    Wompet, I think you might have a box-pleat from Matt Newsome
    And Hamish, but of course!!!

    And that's everybody I know about and that a quick forum search revealed. 22 X-marks tartan kilts have been made, or a gleam in someone's eye. Wait, there's a gentleman here from Scotland who also has one, but I forget who it is. He posted pics a while ago! 23 kilts?

    Who did I miss?

    Matt, did you ever make one for yourself? If so, I want to see pics! Rocky? MacHummel?

    Here's a rare sight...three X-Marks tartan kilts, all together. I'm hoping that there will be FIVE of them at the 2008 Nor Cal Burns Night supper!

    And if...IF there are five X-Marks tartan kilts at the NorCal Burns night, every one will be different.

    6 yard knife-pleat to no stripe, 8 yard knife pleat to the yellow stripe, 8 yard to the sett, 8 yard military box pleat, and 4 yard box pleat. THAT would be fun!

    I also have the material for a 9 yarder from Kathy Lare when I return from India.

    With the advent of 'Delhi Belly' and other maladies, I am shrinking away.....

That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it." anon

    I have the cloth (from the "damaged" stuff.... though I lucked out and got some with no damage from what I see) for a box pleat. I'm trying to pull the money together to get it sewn up.
