Well done Alan - it must be very gratifying to see these two smiling gents wearing your concept kilts!

Great looking Alan. What was the final time investment for each kilt?

**Big Dave** · 31st July 06, 05:15 PM

Looks good, I would wear 'em (not both at the same time, that would just be silly).

That's very fine work, Alan. You've been an inspiration to me since I first logged on to this wonderful forum. I've now converted 3 sport jackets to kilt jackets thanks to your influence and guidance. I doff my cap to you, sir

It averaged out to about twelve hours, each. I can get that down to more like ten, but still and I'll I'm estimating that this is a fourteen-to-eighteen hour project for a novice.

First off, I'd like to commend you on your latest kilts. I always look forward to your kilt projects. They inspire me through my own.
A question I had...Is there any taper to either of the aprons? While I 'm not a big fan of the narrow aprons, the kilt with the skinny apron kilt looks better.
Thanks for your endeavor.

Thanks, that's what I gathered when I made it to the other thread! Anyway, even if it is 24-30 hours for a novice, still very do-able, I spend that much time on XMarks over X days (OK, I am ashamed at how few days that is!).

I figure that I, with wife, 2 young daughters, work, and moving, could probably get this done in no more than 10-12 weeks. And I mean that seriously. Many days I would be hard pressed to get to it at all, and other times I might get to spend and hour or more. But I would still get it done. I hope to be able to use Alan's instructions on modifying a kilt jacket to complete a jacket in the next 2 weeks. Whoa, I need to get off here and start shortening a jacket. Later dudes (and dudettes)!
