Looks good so far. If you are making them for purchase, I'd like to know what the going rates are, what materials you will use, types of buckles,straps, etc. That way one of us can get one and put up an honest critique of the work! Being labeled a quality kiltmaker from a good critique here will help your new company more than you can imagine.
Don't forget that if you want to hawk your wares, you need to be a regular contributor here.
I do so love to see the fringes of kilt fashion pushed wider and wider.
Very cool.
So what part of the world are you in?

Well to answer the questions in kind: I am located in Fairbanks Alaska but my unit has been extended in our tour of Iraq, so though I came home advanced party I now have to return to Iraq. That leads into the commercial production side. I have been asked to make them by a few people and will probably oblige. I however do not know yet when (due to Iraq) or how much. That and I am to much of a perfectionist so I would not be willing to release my current wares to the public without fine tunning my technique just yet. The rat is my room mates and yes he is a pet. Thank you for the support and I will get some more detailed shots up for you tonight so you can see the work. Oh and yes Pittsburgh Kilts site was very influencial. Well seeing as I am typing over the kilt I am working on I think its time to get back to work and finish this one for todays demo at the fair. (SCA)
Welcome, nice work. What material did you use? I've made two that can be found on the board. I used to spend summers at Eilson, I'm from Wasilla originally. Spent a lot of time at Ft Greeley and Black Rapids. Keep us informed of your progress and keep the good pictures coming. O'Neille
