    Alan H,
    I'm hoping to finish 2 X-Kilt this coming weekend when I return home. It's my first sewing project in almost 30 years and if they only look half as good as the others I've seen, I'll consider them a success.

    Panache,
    Very sharp. What's the buckle you're wearing? It's hard to tell from the picture.

    I am sorry if I have been misunderstood.I had no intention to be rude and I am sorry you have taken it that way,I was trying to be witty, and failing it seems.I was simply trying to imply that the cammo was so good that I could not see it.

    No, Jock. It is I who should apologize. I'm a bit tired and am only here because I'm having a hard time sleeping. I've been reading a lot of recent threads about what does and does not constitute a kilt and completely missed the connection. Upon a re-read, your pun was spot on and I blew the initial reading.
    I'll go back and remove my earlier statement and, again, I apologize.

    That belt and buckle was from Target of all places and bought on clearance for $10 last Spring.

    The turtleneck and socks are actually beige and match a color in the kilt in person. I think you are very right that this would work well with a wooly-pully commando sweater. I do have one but it has to be awfully cold to wear it without overheating here in mild California.
