Alright, so I probably don't have the guts...

Sadly, it's all already pleated up to the hip measurement waiting for me to taper in the waist. They all look like kilts, if you don't mind 40 - 80 safety pins per. ;-)

Ouch. I'll stick with the one big one on the front ...

Haven't done much of anything more with it since. :-( Been getting side-tracked by far too many marvelous fabrics, each being planned for one style or another! I now have some fairly atrocious 26 oz for a 4 yard box, 5 yards of a nice muted olive and black tweed in 18 oz for a Kingussie, 8 yards of gorgeous Jacquard for a full-on 8 yard knife with a fly plaid, 6 yards of 16 oz in grey and black for I don't know what yet, and enough 11 oz in black grey and red to make two kilted skirts for my daughter, one knife and one box.

I'm Darryl, and I'm a kilt addict...

Say, Darryl, what's your fabric source? I am having the worst time finding heavy weight wool of any sort online or offline for anywhere near decent prices. I am studying tailoring and want to make a nice Inverness and I am wanting a really heavy fabric for cold Ohio winters.

Do you mind sharing your source, or at least giving pointers for finding a similar one?

Thanks.

Good luck with your first box pleated kilt btw, a box pleat was the third kilt I made and it didn't turn out too bad.

Blessings,
