Do kilts have a "break-in" period?

[The Wizard of BC]

This afternoon I had some time to work on this kilt again. The interfacing is now fully installed and the buckles are sewn back on.



here is a detail shot showing how the buckles are sewn to the kilt completely through the stabilizer and interfacing.



And here is the back of the kilt with the buckles in place.
As this kilt was originally machine sewn I did not feel it would be out of place to machine sew the buckles back on.



To finish this kilt up all I need to do now is put the waistband back on and sew the lining on to cover all this work.
