That's pretty cool! Basically an X-Kilt with some modifications on the aprons. I think it would probably be easier to make than an X-Kilt, since there is less precision with the under and over-aprons. Just pleat it around all the way and slap the over-apron on top. Probably takes a bit more material, but that's ok-pretty affordable material.
Don't worry though, I wouldn't steal their design. 
Hmm...which came first though, the X-Kilt or Alphakilt?! 
Is Alan owed some royalties here? 
Be well,

Good Morning,
I'd noticed the similarities as well. I even went so far as to take my XKilt out of the closet last night and lay it on the bed next to the Alphakilt, and, from the back, neither my wife nor I were able to tell the difference.
I'll confess I'm greatly tempted to clone the pattern for myself only (I really don't want to become a professional kiltmaker. Or even semi-pro.). It would be nice to have a nice khaki to go along with the black kilt, though. 
Seriously, though. The workmanship so far has been top-notch. There's no give in the snaps. The stitching was very neat and strong.
