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.
