    Just had this idea after reading another post earlier today. The old Army wool blanket was green with a black US printed on one side. If the kilt could be made with the US right in the middle of the front apron, that would be awesome. Did anything come of this? Has anyone tried it? I'm thinking of getting a couple of blankets and giving them to a lady here that makes period costumes. She did a great box pleat kilt for a buddy using his German Army camoflage fabric. Let me know if anyone tried this please.

    I ordered a Czech wool blanket from Sportsmansguide.com with this idea in mind (I've had in bouncing around the back of my head for a couple of years now), but haven't started yet. I'm also thinking box pleat (although two of those British Off-Whites sown together would make a sweet feilidh-mhor).
