This post summarizes the entire spirit of the X-Kilt.
No lamentations on whether or not he has the perfect fabric. No stressing out about whether the pleats need to be 3/32 of an inch narrower to create the perfect fit.
The man got the directions, did what he needed to do, learned some stuff, added a strap here and a buckle there and some hooks...whatever the heck he wanted because it's HIS kilt, and made himself a flippin' kilt to got get dirty and sweaty in.
Guid on ye.

Nicely done! Wish I had the skills to do that.
You realize the picture only counts if you're wearing it, right?

Well, I owe a big thank-you to Alan for his great X-Kilt manual. If I could make one, anyone can. Just go for it lads.

Way cool! I have absolutely no skills to make a X-Kilt no matter how much I want to.
As a dreamer of dreams, and a travelin' man, I have chalked up many of miles, read dozens of books about heros and crooks and learned much from both of their styles.

Let's get this straight...
Can you use a circular saw to cut one foot of length off a 4-foot piece of 2 x 4 lumber?
Can you use a tape measure to measure the distance between two points on the floor?
Can you solve this math problem? 22 - 8 = ????
Can you read this post?
Can you get in the car, drive to a store, and buy thread and cloth?
If you can do those things, you have the skill set to make an X-Kilt.
