    New Tartan Box Pleat

    Finally had the time to make myself a new kilt.

    CWKchic actually bought the material for me, in return for making her a long kilt, and I am making a modern style black kilt for her son.

    I shortened the fell on this one, think it came out better than the last attempt.

    The material is once again the Poly/Rayon stuff from Joann's.

    Oh, and that awesome looking Sporran is #6 of a limited edition of 25 made by Donnie at Wyvern Leatherworks.

    OK, enough talk, time for some pictures...

    and side pleat shot


    Had to pose once with my Claymore.


    I am pretty happy with how this one came out.

    Here are a couple pictures of CWKchics after we finished it.
    She hates that I post these pictures, so here is her disclaimer.
    It was 3am when we got this finished.
    We were both tired and pretty frazzled, but I think she looks just fine, and the long kilt came out pretty good.




    And one of the two of us at a recent kilt night to see the band Amadan.



    That is Werewolves in his styling new kilt to the right of us.

    Looks great Wolfgore. The pleats hang a LOT better from the fell than hte last one you showed us.
