My Xmarks kilt has arrived
Received in the post today, pleated to the grey stripe.
I had originally envisaged having the fabric assembled as a box pleat kilt but Steve advised me that I had enough fabric for a traditional kilt so I opted for an 8-yard knife pleat.
Just couldn't wait to try it on - a great fit.
Concluding with the obligatory pleats shot.

That looks fantastic, Alex! I REALLY need to have my XMTS tartan sewn up. I'm such a slacker.

You are an XMTS Moderator and you actually own the tartan but don't have it made into a kilt yet?
SLACKER!
