Nice kilt. Great for newbie to see other alternatives to the traditional tartan. I have a feeling I've got myself into something here... 8)

A lined kilt....'hullo, what a great idea.
Looks excellent, BTW.

Thanks to everyone, and I have to say that the lining is great. It might not make much difference in just cold, still weather, but with any breeze at all, the thickness of the kilt fabric with the kilt lining makes a huge difference. We are expecting 4-6" tonight and when I got home (wearing the PK) this evening, my first job was to walk the dog. My upper body got cold first (even while wearing a medium to heavy weight jacket), but my legs were warm, as were "the boys", or "twig and berries" as Dreadbelly used to say!
I also love the underapron pocket. I have said it before, but it is great. And large enough to hold at least a 38, and possibly a 45 auto, if they make one with a snub nose!

Hey KCW,
Ain't Jeff's work great?!!
In warm weather I found the underapron pocket is great for carrying a bottle of water when hiking. A very versatile accessory you've got there buddy.

The pocket looks like it would be very handy. It maybe looks like something heavy would pull the kilt out of shape?
I like the lining too. Looks very warm!

MacMullen,
The pocket is great. I wore it again today and having my wallet that accessible was great. And to be honest, there is a slight "spy" feeling about reaching between the aprons and bringing out my wallet to pay for something in a store! People are a little surprised when I pull the wallet back out.
As for pulling the kilt out of shape, the pocket is on the underapron. Unless you put something very bulky in there, you would never be able to tell. And since the underapron is "buckled" (Jeff uses a different system) at the waist band on the left side, and obviously buckles up on the right, it is well supported. I would be more concerned with something too heavy pulling the whole kilt down the waist!
