The edges are ragged, but you can tell that it is pinked in either a square or dovetail cut.

This is a more intact dovetail pinking:...

The raw edge is pinked, so it was definitely left raw on purpose. Not sure why. Do you have a wider view of the whole outfit? It seems like a very short jacket or waistcoat for 1744. Piecing was very...

I love that the waistcoat has false flaps, but actually has welt pockets.

I don't post as much as I used to, but I still check in, and I've been here from the beginning.

Sounds like you already have your answer, but the Longford county tartan also features a similar colour scheme:

Looks great! And, if it was a daytime wedding, you were probably the only person wearing the proper attire of a morning coat instead of a tux (which is for evening wear).

I've put over 5,000 backpacking miles on a poly-viscose kilt which fastens with Velcro. Something like the USA Kilts casual model. The pleats are sewn in, and it's held up through waist-deep creek...

Love the shawl collar. It looks great, and perfect matching on the collar and welt pockets!

Well this has moved far beyond the original title of the post, so perhaps the thread should be moved. I'll leave that up to the admins.

I wanted to show two P/V kilts that I own, with their fringe...

I won't want to use the selvedge it has. It looks terrible. I'm going to put a small (1/4") fringe along the bottom edge (similar to the fringe at the edge of the apron), and I'll be able to use the...

I have several poly/viscose kilts which have a fringed bottom edge instead of a straight selvedge. I know that isn't traditional, but neither is P/V. I therefore only bought 5 yards, so that I can...

That's what I figured.

I found an amazing deal on some P/V tartan - $4.99 a yard. I like this asymmetrical tartan, but have no idea what it is. Any thoughts? I'm tempted to go back to the store and get some of the other...

Steve, this is an amazing post.

That. Sporran. To die for!

Just so long as you don't film a commercial for it like your title reference. "A million dollars for half a minute."

We shovel out a small section of the dog yard. However, there's a five-foot pile of snow next to a six-foot fence, so it's possible for the dogs to climb to freedom. :) Exercising them is done in...

It's a dry field stone foundation with a dirt floor basement, so flooding is normal (the house was built in 1738).

Here's a picture of what it looked like after I cleared 4 feet of snow off my roof. The base level of snow is again 3-4 feet, which makes it - let's say - "interesting" to wear a kilt when your feet...

Once again, silk is a fiber, not a finish. There are many ways to finish silk, from whisper light to hard-wearing, from velvet to satin to grosgrain. For example, most ties are made of silk twill....

The P/V that a kilt is woven in has nothing to do with the P/V that a coat or sleeve lining might be woven in. It's the same material, and maybe even the same ratios, but a different thread size....

I've been homebrewing for the past 10 years. I've made mead a few times, but mostly stick to all-grain beer brewing. I've experimented a few times with old beer recipes from the 19th century, with...

The St. David's tartan always makes me think of Christmas:

The green block definitely has a bigger "pop" in the reveal, but I think pleating to the sett in this case is the way to go.

You really nailed the colours. That's a beautiful tartan.
