I come off MUCH more "macho" here online than I am in person. While I sometimes get kinda stressed and cranky, 95% of the time, face to face I'm awfully laid back. I "write" a lot "hotter".....and "colder" too....than I actually am.

Artificer, the one I had in mind was a deep blue with some grays and purples in there. But there was also a cinnamon/brown sort of batik that was really nice. Yes, a strip of this inside the box pleats of an X-Kilt would work very nicely. It's just that the stuff doesn't have the weight to hang very well on it's own, so it would need to be stitched on to a base of the same material that the rest of the kilt was made from.

It's a flippin' lot of work to do this inside every pleat in a knife=pleated kilt, like I did with Bethanys. Inside the 5-6-7 pleats of an X-Kilt, that's really no big deal. Hmmmm...
