Camo Kilt - HELP!

[Pleater]

You wouldn't consider a reverse Kinguisse style maybe?

I find it the best option for outdoors as rear pointing pleats both sides do not snag like the conventional method of knife pleating. You make the apron and left side as normal, and the under apron and right side a perfect mirror image.

One thing to consider - some DPM is directional - my first camo kilt is made from strips cut across, selvage to selvage, as it did not look right when viewed sideways.

Is that 5 and 1/4 yards of double width material?

I would consider that. The point you make is obvious, now that I think about it. But I had honestly not even remembered that style.

Ok, the term "DPN" confuses me. I have a Realtree style (I say style because it's not Realtree or Mossy Oak), and it is 5 1/4 yds of double width. I plan on splitting it down the middle, and the using the second half of the fabric to manufacture pockets, a sporran, etc.

Sorry - DPM - Disruptive Pattern Material.

If you cut the material across the width you can make two 6 yard kilts from it - as long as you don't need more than about 22 inches in length. You can make a waistband a couple of inches wide

Slash pockets are the type where you cut horisontally, hang the pocket bag inside and then bind the raw edges? If you make the pocket bag from toning material and bind the raw edges with tape - you could make the belt loops from the same tape too.

It would mean careful measuring - but two kilts - thats got to be worth the bother.
