Neat-o Pleats

[Riverkilt]

Jeff at Pittsburgh Kilts made this "tri-color" Arizona Flag kilt for me...and I promptly out grew it. Too bad the other kilted Zonies aren't the size I used to be.



And his website is still up, you'll see more examples there.

What size would that be?

Jeff made his kilts with an adjustable waist. This puppy has three waist sizes 39", 40", and 41". Length is 22 1/2". You can see one of the side pockets in the pic posted. He even lined it to match the pleat underneath it.

The concept when we designed it was to have the colors of the Arizona flag and the spirit of the Roughriders from Arizona in the Spanish American War. Todd contributed a crossed sabers cavalry patch. Its on the cloth sporran in matching blue with a yellow stripe in the center. There's also an Arizona flag patch "kilt pin" on the front apron and a small arizona flag patch on the rear pocket flap. We were trying to avoid a "circus" or "cheerleader" look.

Don't know that I can describe how the pleats are made for you guys. There are six red and five yellow. The underpleats are creased...the blue is just sort of the cover. Fabric is cotton twill.

Jeff also put in a 5 1/2" x 6 1/2" underapron pocket. And he put in a 12" deep cloth lining that hangs free from the inside waistband. You can see in the hanging pic below that he made a wide waistband. Belt loops are 3" wide.

If any of you want me to take some closeups of the seams and email them to you let me know and PM me your email.





The hiking pic isn't that good since I'd really already "outgrown" it then..was stuffed in. Worse now.
