Hand Sewn Kilts in the Wind

**Riverkilt** · 21st April 08, 04:46 PM

So I'm out taking some pics of my new Ultimate Rain Cape from Mr. Antony. Wore the red to contrast with the black cape. I'm guessing the wind gusts today were 15 to 25 mph. You can see the wind on my shirt and my hair. And here's a pic of the wind and the cape.

But I'm noticing my kilt is doing fine in the wind. Its 13 oz from House of Edgar's Old and Rare. You'd think 13 oz would be blowing around more in the wind. But it didn't.

You can really see the wind's effect on the back of my shirt. But even though the pleats danced in the wind, they never flew around.

Kathy Lare sewed them up to a 3" pleat depth with a 3/4" pleat reveal.

Ya gotta love that kind of quality.

Excellent pics as always!

Excelent pics. That red does show up quite nicely, against the black cape.

On the subject of wind, I have a 4 yard box pleated affair, in 13 ounce, and I've never had a bit of problem with it. Worsted is really good stuff... and when you think about it, even in spite of the fact that 13 ounce is considered "middle weight", it's still quite heavy, as garment fabrics go.

PS. Beautiful scenery, by the way.

Aye, that's quality. I'm currently waiting on a 13oz hand sewn to be delivered.

Wonderful looking kilts Ron, and I really like the cape.

I just ordered Mr. Anthony Bandspec capes for my daughter and for me, and they are the bee's knees as well. Much nicer than the cheaper nylon ones and not that much more expensive. If you're looking for a nice Inverness but don't want to lay out for the Mr. Anthony Ultimate, the Bandspec is a good alternative.
