Yeah, ImageShack keeps changing the way they do things so I just put in the url. Sorry about that. No, Matt Newsome creations take up to six months to arrive due to the popular demand.

Hey, I think it looks great.

Do you have any Duct Tape? It'll fix that puppy on good and seal that pesky hole to boot.

Ummm... you need to turn the kilt inside out... wait, outside in... no, just wear is on your head... that'll make a statement!

Did you try to put it on while liying in your bed... I've heard that using a fork helps when it's really tight.
Wait... Did you read the instruction manual or are you winging it???

definietly needs some tack welds to hold it in place, them finish it up with nig TIG'ing...

Wow! A kilt with a built in black cummerbund and back support. What will they think of next?

Ha! I'm amazed pictures like that haven't turned up in the Kilt Do's and Don't's thread!

Why bother with the buckles? I'd suggest using a heavy duty, air operated, staple gun with inch and a half staples. That should hold everything in place without it slipping down. Would work great for that kilt that isn't quite tight enough when worn with a PC and waistcoat.
