Richard D......get yourself a nice piece of wool tartan...about 4 to 5 yards, and it will probably come about 58 inches wide.....learn how to pleat it on the ground/floor...a belt and a leather sporran, you're there! there are some good sites in the forums that you can reference and the latest photos by Mael of me putting on the feilamor are good. Have fun. I started out that way...a piece of wool from a local fabric store and lots of practice, now it's as natural as heather!! Malcolm
