    I got some pics of my self made kilt.

    This is my only kilt right now. I made it for rugby games, so I don't care if it is not perfect. (also it was a first attempt.)

    From the front.



    From the back.



    From the side.



    And showing off my newest tattoo.




    The pleats don't look that bad normaly, I need to iron...

    I think it looks fine for a first time! I'm always a bit envious of you guys who can sew.
    From the lone Shieling of the misty islands,
    Mountains divide us and the waste of seas.
    Yet still the blood is strong, the heart is Highland,
    And we in dreams behold the Hebrides.

    Me too...I wish I could sew without bleeding so much.

    That kilt looks great to me. Looks like you did an excellent job of pleating to the stripe.

    Just wear that t-shirt with it and you'll not get a peep of criticism.

    Cool tat too. Have a full back myself.

    The arm band is a tattoo of crossed anchors (every good Boatswain's Mate has at least one) and an anchorr chain band.

    Rugby kilt! Yes! I have a kilt I use only for rugby. Makes the game much more comfortable...and it scares the other team.
