    The webbing and D-rings look great, too.

    Sydnie ---oh no - no cotton pleat will survive through a machine wash. "Refresh" is right. I only meant to have this knife-pleated denim kilt dry-cleaned. I didn't want it to shrink over time. The guy who's getting the revK kilt said that he'll only have it dry-cleaned. So he's good to go.

    Otherwise, stitching the pleat edges through to the hem is the way to keep the pleats.

    I remember somebody here asking about non-leather material as kilt straps and I replied with either the same fabric as the kilt or webbing+Dring. So here you go.

    Thanks for the compliments.

    Hi Mein,
    You are doing a wonderful job. That raffle winner sure is one lucky guy. I can't believe that you made your first just 9 months ago. It's has if you've been doing it for years. You are very talented. I can't wait for the day when I can have a kilt made by you. I'm certainly looking forward to it. Awesome !!!
