First X-Kilt Complete!!!
Hey All, Just wanted to post a couple pictures of my first X-Kilt. I finished it last month, and unleashed it on my workplace for our St. Patrick's Day party. What a blast! The kilt is made from Digital MARPAT Camo, following most of the rules from the X-Kilt manual. I modified it to include custom pleated cargo pockets, hidden wallet pocket on center of under apron (really helps weigh it down when sitting), and a 3" parachute cord modesty strap to connect the center rear box pleat to the back of the front under apron, for keeping things PG when I'm higher than other people for work, etc. I had a TON of fun making it, and am learning a lot about myself and other people through this experience. Yesterday I wore it to a shooting competition and endured the expected jesting from my friends, but when I tied for second out of 20+ people, they had to come to grips that all but 2 of them just got beat by a guy in a "skirt" (as they called it). ;) The best part of this has been the interaction with people who are just curious. Thanks for putting together such a great manual and enabling me to have this great experience. BTW, my second X-kilt is in progress, only this one will be a RK knife pleated kilt in tan canvas with a lower ride, like my jeans.
