Today I finished my X Marks kilt. I made it exactly like a Freedom Kilts Dress Model. It has been an interesting learning experience -- wool is definitely different to work with than cotton and polyester/cotton. I have already identified ways to make the next one better. I was so excited to try it on I didn't even take the time to steam out the pleats from where the basting was.
Here is the kilt from the front.
Note the full waistband and beltloops -- they make the sporran hang perfectly. And also note my hand in the pocket.
Here is the rear.
Please excuse the ripples in the pleats. They are from the basting stitches.
And a detail of the Side Slash Pockets.
This kilt has two Side pockets.
