Nice work! Keep on working.

Nicely done! I'd love to see how it looks being worn. Any plans for a photo op while wearing it?

*edit: nevermind. I saw your other thread with the pics I was looking for.

Looks great!

I used Velcro on this kilt; I call this one my travel kilt (airports).

I had to wait for my wife to come home for photos.

Its a good looking kilt.. you wear it well... by the way... I am holed up about an hour and a half from you over in Glenwood... small town... 30 miles south of Hot Springs... visiting family, while waiting for my work to start back up...

you've done a wonderful job, and I like your pictures!

Isn't tweed the best?

Nice work there! I have the same reference work that you mentioned, but haven't used it yet.

Tweed looks really sharp as a kilt.

Fide et Fortitudine, aye!

That is a wonderful tweed. So what weight is the fabric? Did you add any interface/stabilizer?

I'm tempted to create my first box pleated kilt, and love the look of tweed, so this may be a great project.

Uh, oh... I feel another kilt coming on...

I am not sure of the weight of fabric; I did use interfacing and also lining.

And thanks to everyone for all the nice complements.
