Steve, I really take my hat off to you, as I would to any kiltmaker or anyone attempting to make their own kilt (not the same thing!), for having taken this one on in the first place. That you have made such fine progress is to be applauded and, I believe, indicates that a competent engineer is undertaking this restoration. Very well done!

I still cannot get my head around the washing, in water, of a traditional, woollen kilt - Woolite or no Woolite! Maybe it is because neither of the washing machines I have ever owned has had a cold, or even cool, wash setting. Obviously it can be done, but I would never risk it.

Cannot wait to see your finished handiwork.

Take care,
Ham.
