Flannel kilts?

[arrogcow]

You could go with the old option that Pittsburgh Kilts had, a non traditional fabric with flannel lining. To date this is still what I wear most of the winter.

In my sublime ignorance I should think that five yards of 57" wide material should be enough for a great kilt, which would be nearly shapeless but delightfully warm and soft in flannel, even in cotton flannel. Of course, if it is printed in a child's pyjamma pattern I would not wear it in public, but around the house . . . with a belt, of course, or at least a bit of rope in the middle ages' manner.

UPDATE:

OK, so the amount of material I bought will make 3 Xkilts. (one pleated between the stripes, one to the stripe, and one to the sett, )Working on the first today. Got it cut out, hemmed and all the outer pleats and some of the inner pleats sewed down already.
This flannel may be cozy but it's a bitch to get organised. On the other hand, being as its a plaid, it's a heck of alot easier to measure and cut up.

Pics to come upon completion.

BTW: Anybody ever do a DIY/How to Video on Kiltmaking?

OK, all done.

Here's a heads up for anyone working on one of these. I washed the fabric first to keep it from shrinking after construction. Problem is that the material twists so a square looks like a rhombus afterwards. So the kilt doesn't lay right, especially in plaids.

Oh well, we live and we learn.
