Lamb's Woolly Productions #2

I finished my second kilt today and road tested it on my walk around town. Few people no coments.
It is a poly/wool blend, five yards pleated to the stripe.
As far as I can find out the tartan has no clan or local to clam it.
I enjoy creating something new and I made a lot fewer bobo this time so it was a lot easier to do..
I can make a kilt to my likes and size, big around the middle with no arse to speak of.
I have enough material to do another one
If you can't tell pron the pictures the kilt is a light grey with blue and white stripes with a red stripe.

Looks good Robert. I wish I had talent like that but I don't, wear it well.

nice! keep with the sewing and good luck on the presumed third kilt with the excess material!

What was the weight of the material and the yardage out of curiosity. Looks great and a good fit.

That looks an awful lot like my "Leatherneck Urban Warfare tartan number 16"

Here.

So, yes I lay claim to that tartan!

The material is 10.5 oz and I purchased 5 meters at $5 a meter.

Fraser & Kirkbright strikes again. Somebody call Gordon! His fabric is everywere.

Yup. Same stuff that I made my "practice" pleated-to-the-sett kilt out of. It's a bit light, but you get a lot of pleats out of a smallish length of material because the sett is only 4.5 inches. For that reason, this is great stuff to practice on, and it looks pretty good. I must say that my 6-yarder out of this stuff has the nicest swing of all of my kilts.

I think we ought to make this stuff an unofficial X-Marks Tartan... You know, like how Stewart of Appin is different from the Royal Stewart tartan?

XMarks of British Columbia? LOL
