Trying to Come Full Circle: Khaki Canvas Kilt

Ted, only Africans are entitled to wear the zebra plaid.

I can't tell you... but it was all in my head.

What about 80's rockers? Or is that just leopard print or tiger stripes?

Correction:

Africans and 80's rockers are entitled to wear the zebra leopard and tiger stripe plaids.*



*While the Africans can wear pith helmets, the 80's rockers cannot.

I just use a straw hat, and keep my hair in a ponytail.

My African friends say that the Zebra's stripes serve to confuse the lions. When the zebras run cirlces around the lions, they can't tell whether their dinner is coming or going!

I recall seeing African folk tales about zebras and baboons fighting, sometimes over a watering hole. The baboons end up with bald patches, and the zebras end up with stripes.

Anyway, I've thought about the zebra plaid a little. A brat or cloak of sorts might be best for that, and I could even wear it with the canvas kilt for the bonfire events and such.

Ok, I'm still working on the canvas kilt, but I sew very slowly. I needed to move the buckle on the right side just a little for the front apron to be a little more snug, not tight. The buckles are attached to leather tabs, which were machine sewn originally, and they have a rectangle of ten-thousand holes for the thread. That's what takes forever. I have to move a belt loop, then it should be done... until I find something else.
