first kilted outing

[dwg]

Help

I have only been putting the pin through both over and under apron, I thought it went through both

Remember to not use the kilt pin to attach the apron and the over-apron to one another. The kilt pin is just there for decoration and a bit of weight to keep the over-apron down, neat.

Since I use a long kilt pin (sword) I also try and make sure that the long axis is parallel to the vertical tartan lines.

Surely not, Derek? Good grief, what have I been saying all these years?!! Catch your pinned-together kilt on something when you are in a hurry and your kilt will be in tatters. Dear, oh dear! ;)

Seriously though: never, never pin the aprons together, and once you've positioned and pinned your pin to the front apron, leave it there! Only remove it when the kilt requires cleaning - which should not be very often.

Thanks again Ham you always save the day ! I also guess thats why when I see a photo of myself in a kilt it looks so parallel at the sides.
