Making casual kilt.

[Warlock]

Can anyone post pics of the velcro arrangment on casual kilts? I am trying to figure out the best way to attach mine. Thanks, B

Here is an X-kilt with a narrow apron. I just put a patch near the corners of the apron. Suggestions for improvement: make the top or bottom set of patches longer than the other, to give some room for adjustment. Sport Kilt puts a long strip right across the waistband of the top apron, and two patches underneath near the hipbones. If you do this, your next kilt can swap the locations of hook and loop to make them come out even.

Next time we get together I can bring one of my Sport Kilts & you can look at that.

Bear used to put one single piece right smack all the way across the waistline, in front.

Here's how I do mine. This is the strap arrangement for the inner apron, so It's all hidden. I do the over-apron the same way but use a bit of the tartan fabric (or whatever your material is) for the strap.
A good camping gear store will have loose nylon strap keepers. Some are flat and some have a gentle curve to fit better against your body.



I've improved the design a bit by attaching the strap 2" from the edge of the apron rather than right at the edge. That way when you cinch it down the nylon fixture lies on the inner apron rather than against your shirt for a bit of extra "padding".

Thanks Guys! My Acupat kilt will be ready soon and I'll post pics!
