Buchannan Kilt So now I am jonesing

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...7139&rd=1&rd=1

it is a 22oz. millitary weight. at least that is whaat she emailed me.

As far as the weight goes - I believe the fabric is 22 oz. It definately is heavy-weight tartan. The kilt itself weighs almost 4 pounds, without packaging.

Can't wait,,,,,,

Ooooh lucky you. Eees verra nice!

Looks great. Great price. Congrats!

Congrats Mr Bill. Can't get lost in the snow with that one, then again you wouldn't freeze even if you did.

I looked long and hard at that one Mr. Bill. The problem for me is the length!! 25.5 would be WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY too long. These were surplus from a pipe band. She was a nice lady, and checked to see if they had something more suited to my length, but no dice... oh well. :) Congrats, it's a beaut. I've long been a fan of the Buchanan tartan, though I have no connections.

Wow, that's an interesting difference of appearance with the pleat to the stripe in the back. Moreso than usual, it seems.

THAT THING IS BOX PLEATED!

I think.

Oh the horror... Yet so beautiful.

Matt used the Buchannan tartan as an example of how the different pleating differs greatly.

Can't wait. I am so jonesing and you are right about no getting lost in the snow. Suttle it is not and I think you might be right about the pleats. Will see when it gets here. The length is a little too long but for that price I can hem it. Not that hard to hand sew a hem or even machine sew if I can find the right thread???
Any suggestions from you kilt makers.

MrBill

You can't hem a 20 ounce kilt. No way.

To thick. The ability to hem peters out around 13 ounces.
