    New X-Kilt,

    Well no pockets at he moment, I havent found a pocket style that I like, and that I managed to pull off well :-P





    I pulled the straps off and moved the lower ones back a bit so that they are even,

    This looks similar to your first X-Kilt which was also adjustable. It looks like you have somewhat improved the technique here. Looking good, from where I'm sitting. Keep up the good work. It inspires me to make one myself.

    Cheers,

    It is similar, except that in this one, Besides being a rev-k, versus a box,
    I made the front apron swappable, so that if I want to, I can change it out, and its tension is not required for proper fitting,

    I'm always impressed by the skills on this forum. That's a cool kilt. I wish I had half your talent.
    Best Regards John

    Looks good on the table but I bet it would look better on a person.
    Nice job!

    That looks fantastic! I especially like the backpack buckle approach. I may have to try my hand at one of these...

    Nice work. I like the use of Fastex buckles and the two-way adjustable apron with the Rev-K pleating. It's a great way to keep that center box pleat in the center if your weight varies a bit over time.

    Cool! How does that work?

    I have a black kilt I bought from someone in Texas. It has pockets like you'd have on slacks. There is a seam between two of the pleats, and the pocket is inside. It holds a lot of stuff, without showing.

    Looks very nice.. I plan to be starting my next X-kilt in about a week (moving this week, so everything is up in the air and busy ;P), and I love the buckle closing. Where / how would I acquire those, if I wanted to add them to my own project?
