I'm not so sure about mixing the MacLeod and ?Jardine? tartans together. I can, however, suggest a couple of good sources for guidance in your kiltmaking projects.

My suggestion to you would to read some of the post for questions that you have and look at some of the photos that are presented. If your questions are not answered then feel free to post them. Make doubly sure that you check out Kilt Do's and Dont's!!!!!!

Well Lady, I think that you should work some more at matching the kilt tartan and the fly plaid. Usually they should be from the same tartan. It also appears that the gent's kilt wraps right over left, which is incorrect. The kilt, and indeed most men's clothing, wraps left over right, much to my left handed chagrin!

Beyon that, I think that you need to press the pleats in a little better so they are crisper and show the pleating pattern, to the sett or the stripe.

And guys, let's try to be constructive in our advise to a new member who has asked for positive feedback.

Thanks for posting the pic. Your first kilt turned out better than mine. Remember, mistakes are how we learn. You've come to the right place to learn all things kilt related. Now get started on the next one!

Still can't figure where so many people find the gumption to try to make a kilt...I'm baffled even with the kilt books.

I salute your courage and all who risk kiltmaking.
