leather selection for kilt

[figheadair]

i am thinking about makeing a leather kilt. has anyone made one with heavy leather like for a motorcycle jacket? i have a thin leather from pakistan that i like and the ladies love. also what are people sealing the leather with? my current leather is bleeding die everywhere and ive been wearing it for 4 months 2 times a week. any advise on the making of leather kilt is appreciated as ive never made any clothing or even used a sewing machine. i have one that does canvas and leather. or would saddle stitch for everything be better? thanks to all.

Call me old fashioned and I don’t wish to appear impertinent but I'm bound to ask - why? Just because one can conflate the costumes from Games of Thrones and Braveheart is not an argument for doing so.
