I've been promising this thread for awhile, so here it is. My second x-kilt. For this one, I made it Rev-K rather than box pleat and I also made it to wear at my jeans waist rather than my kilt waist. First things first, here's the kilt in action at our local hay maze.

Here's a side shot showing the pleats and the pocket.


Here's some info on how I did it. I started with the Wizard of BC's measuring instructions posted in this thread. (They can also be found on his website.)

In laying out my kilt, I used the same fell-to-hem distance as my previous x-kilt. For the fell-to-waistband distance, I used the distance from the fell to the highest point of the waistband--the center back.

Once I had made the kilt through tapering the waist, I laid the kilt down and marked the waistband location by measuring down from the top based on my slope measurements. Here's a photo of the markings on the top of the kilt.


Next, I took a few deep breaths and cut along the dotted line. Here's the cut off portion.


From this point, it wasn't really any different than making a normal-rise x-kilt. The waist band was a bit trickier to attach because of the curve, but I managed to wrestle it in place.

I am really happy with the kilt and I will definitely make more like this one in the future. In fact, once I finished it, I was wearing it so often that it took me forever to get some pictures of it.

Thanks again to Alan H for the awesome X-Kilt Manual and to Sydnie 7 for the awesome RK Appendix! And thanks to the Wizard of BC for the measuring instructions. This one is my new favorite kilt thanks to you three.
