    Alan H. X Kilt!

    I am very remiss in offering public thanks for the wonderful gift Alan H. gave me at our last Nor Cal Kilt Night. Alan H. creator of the "X Kilt" design that so many of our members have used to make themselves a modern kilt found that he had never made one for himself. He decided that he would make one for both himself and I out of some camouflage material. way2fractious generously offered up his collection of various camo material for the project. Now in truth I am not especially fond of camo but one of w2f's offerings caught my eye. Apparently the material is known as "Predator Camo". I liked it a lot and w2f donated it to the project.

    With out further ado here is the Predator Alan H. X Kilt!







    Alan, thank you so much for this wonderful kilt. It is going to be my hiking apparel of choice! I just need to get one of those SWK Leather sporrans to properly accent it now...

    Cheers

    Looks good. I like that cammo pattern. It's a good thing you were wearing a white shirt in those pictures or we might not have seen you.

    Welcome to the world of camo kilts, Jamie!

    If there is any of that predator fabric left, have someone knock out a couple of cargo pockets for you. You can attach them with snaps, and then you won't need a sporran!
