Thanks for the info. I have looked at The Art of Kilt Making but decided not to buy it because I'm just not sure that I plan to make many more kilts. I had a lot of fun making the one I did, but I doubt very much that I would ever make something of the same quality as the professionals out there.

I was just curious. I had such a devil of a time with my darts and when I saw that my SWK had none, I was jealous and wanted to know how it was possible.

Has anyone seen an AmeriKilt and know what I'm talking about with their waistband that does the tapering? Is there a proper name for that? I'm trying to imaging what the shape of that piece of fabric must be, but it escapes me.
