gotta dig the box pleats

Inspired by the 1920's maxwell kilt on Matt Newsoms' blog I came up with
this.

Pleat shot, the Maxell kilt is a kingasiuse pleat, mine is box pleated as I didn't have enough material.

I used buttons for an old school look.
more to follow.

The belt is attached to the under apron passes around the back and is grabs the buckle on the outer apron.

Huh....Interesting. I like it! good job!

Thanks all! It was a bit of fun to figure out how it would work from just a couple of pics. A little bothersome to put on but it is very comfy to wear.

Really nice kilt. Looks good on you, like the T-shirt you chose to wear with it.

So, is the park spoke wrench part of the original design too?

The orig didn't have a buckle and I couldn't figure out how they tied the leather belts, so I dug around and found the Park Tool belt I picked up at Interbike a few years ago. It works as this is the kilt I wear at the bike shop most often.
