I got directed to XMTS while trying to make kilts from firefighter turnouts, and I love the sight. The project is gonna be a loooong one, but the result should be rewarding!! Thanks to all who put kilt making instructions on here!!

Greetings from a Whidbey Islander now in the middle of nowhere!!

Vegas is one of my favorite places on Earth, and hopefully Uncle Sam will be sending me to Ft. Irwin right down I-15 by Barstow later this year. If not, hopefully back to Ft. Lewis, WA.

A lot of good articles, good info and good people here. You came to the right place. If you want a somewhat easier to build and more contemporary style check out Alan H's X-Kilt instructions here: http://www.xmarksthescot.com/forum/f...ownload-20085/
There are also tips on RevK pleating in various threads, which I have found easier to taper when fitting it to the waist and easier to tweak the pleats a bit to lay just right.

Good luck! And welcome.

Welcome from Roseville California

! I hope you find this site as helpful and entertaining as I have.

And Whidbey 78, I can honestly say that is the first time in my 52 years as a California native that I have ever heard anyone say that they hoped they were going to Barstow!
