Entire DIY ensemble

**hospitaller** · 2nd October 08, 10:02 PM

My camera crapped on me today (the USB connection does not seem to be communicating) so I can;t upload the photos, but as soon as I can, I will.

I bought a jacket and a waist coat at the local Goodwill store and I converted both of them for kilt wear.

So today I went to work wearing my DIY slate wool kilt, wearing my DIY flashes, with my DIY waist coat and DIY Jacket conversions.

The feeling of having an entire formal outfit, made by my own hand, and all for less than $50 is priceless.

Heck, some hose sell for $50 and here I am wearing an entire outfit for less than that.

Again, soon as I can transfer the photos, you'll be able to criticize/comment.

Cheers and keep DYIng

I hope you'll fix your camera. If not, put the memory card into card reader and problem solved. Hardly wait to see pics.

At the moment I'm working on traditional kilt (more or less), planning sporran and even making my own kilt straps. Will post pics when done with kilt.

Regards!

Sounds good. I've done the jacket conversion and modified my StillWater kilt a bit, but I don't think I will be trying to make a kilt.

Glad it's all come together for you, and congratulations for being able to make all of those items.

It's been said before, and will most assuredly be said again....but the cleverness and inventiveness of the folks in this group never ceases to amaze me.

Well done Hector. Having made your kit yourself, I'm sure it will add just that much more "swagger" to your step.
