My Selfmade from Frugal Corner Material

Forgive the washout look. I had to adjust the brightness so the tartan would show. This is the 13oz Hunting Stewart material from Frugal Corner. It is box-pleated and built to ride low. The photographer was Trye Podd.

The second picture makes it hard to see the detail of your pleats, but, according to the first picture, you did a really nice job! Good work!!

I like it! How many pleats did you put in?

**HeathBar** · 10th August 07, 06:52 AM

It has nine pleats. Here's a better picture.

Looks very, very good.
Your boots are almost the exact same as mine.

Thanks for the kind words guys. I had my first outing in it this evening. It was just to the folks and back. It was very comfortable. I did have a brief experience witha light gust of wind. I was walking to the truck heading out. As I stepped between the car and truck, I felt the back of the kilt lift. I looked back and saw the hem of the kilt coming up. I quickly pushed it down and hopped in the truck. No big deal. This is light weight material. And it is 5 yds in length. I knew it could happen.

But I really like the color of the material. The green really stands out. I think I'm pleased.
