Hi all-
I've just finished my last kilt that I'm making myself. I've made 4 and that should be enough for now with my larger measurements. I'm actually starting to down trend again, so I've made this in between my fattest measurements and my "normal", so I should get some wear out of this. OK......

In my youth, I was a member of the 78th regiment in Canada and I finally scored some of the VERY hard to get custom woven tartan. Almost 20 years to get this (Albeit there were many years in between that I didn't try), but anyway. This tartan is EXTREMELY.....um.....well....Loud you might say. I wanted to tone it down a bit and decided to pleat it to the bar. I want to point out that I have 3 terminologies. Pleating to the sett is a mimic of the actual tartan sett. Pleating to the stripe is when I pleat to a vertical stripe within the set, and lastly, pleating to the bar. Pleating to the bar means that you choose a scheme that has no vertical striping. Only left to right bars in the pleats. I choose the Charcoal teal bar and pleated to that which provides EXCELLENT contrast to the loud, bright front apron. I haven't pressed the kilt yet, but it looks REALLY fantastic-Hope ya'll enjoy. Pics of me wearing coming later today or tomorrow.
