Looks great!

[RD Evans]

Awesome! From someone who is definitely not an expert - it all looks great to me! Very cool.

[Kiltedjohn]

Very fine piece (or pieces) of work. Shows great talent all round.

Fine work Karl!

What an interesting and satisfying project this must be.

Good look...BUT..your puttees need to be further round on the ankle, if I can explain this one without a diagram. when you look down at your boots and the two line's of eyelets, the line of stitching to the right of the far right hand line of eyelets on the right boot, and the stitching on the far left of the left hand set of eyelets on the left hand boot are used as a guide to the final position for the line of stiching on your puttees at the point where the puttee is stitched and starts to reduce down to the tape, which in turn is wrapped around the puttee and is finished by turning around its self as you have done in your photos.
This ensures uniformity and neatness of the puttee in relation to the boots.
SORRY EX ARMY..ROYAL ENGINEERS,...I mourned the demise of the putter for the preference of the high leg boot in the 80's.

Karl: You look sensational! Great job. And, a very handsome kilt.

On a quick note...the kilt is fantastic ...love the tartan....reminds me of my first kilt ...a hand me down through the family on my mother's side when I was a child.... I have no right to it but I like the tartan so much I may have one made some time.

I'm no expert on wearing puttees, having only used them briefly with tropical dress (shorts) but this photo may help......

What can I say..a picture paints a thousand words....
Where on earth did you that image....brilliant.

According to at least one old book I have: Although some Cameron's wear it as a hunting tartan the Cameron of Eracht was never regarded as a clan tartan, so I think it's fair game. It's my favourite tartan and would love to wear it. BTW Karl your outfit is superb and a fine tribute to a brave soldier. Happy New Year.
