I remember when this was commissioned. You described your vision of how the "flash" from the pleats would be compared to fissures and vent holes. You described it perfectly then and now I can't wait to see the kilt in action.

Pretty cool! I think this is the first time I've seen that tartan done up as a kilt. And great work, Barb!

As far as I know, i’m the only one who has had this tartan woven.

And , I have to say, this is my favorite tartan EVER!

I remember this post and recall being envious of the tartan at the time. I have one of your other 'flash' tartan kilts which i quite enjoy and would gladly consider adding this one to my wardrobe. Out of curiosity is there any yardage available at this time? I'll PM you if that's more appropriate?

Amazing to have another Volcano-ed kilter!
