Jeans kilt prototypes

[woutervw]

Hi,

I'm preparing for making a denim kilt, using a Reverse Kingussie pleats. I came up with two ways of sewing the pleats and I think I prefer the first one. The top above the fell I sewed with a thread the same colour as the jeans itself. Opinions?

I'm not a denim-lover but, of the two, I definitely prefer the first.

Top one gives it that authentic jeans runnign fell seam look.

I'm not really a jeans lover but are those rivets really necessary? The kilt would be unable to go through screening at an airport with those and that would be rather unfortunate because a denim kilt would seem to be an ideal garment to travel in (for those who like the look).

I am trying to incorporate what you would normally find on normal blue jeans. Most have rivets of some sort.

Really? They're brass and there wouldn't be that many more than in denim pants.

I also like the look of #1. You might have a few more rivets than a pair of jeans, but lots of clothing has metal components (zippers, D-rings etc.) and I've never suffered more than a casual pat on the arm, for example, when TSA wants to double-check the scanner results.

Keep us posted, looks as if you have made a great start!
