Kilt w/Frugal Corner material

[Kilted-Marine]

I think Will Robinson is safe and sound. Take a yard of this fabric - 54 x 36 and use a good scale and you will come up with darn close to 13 oz last test i did it weighed 12.6 oz per yard

so there is no need for the WARNING.

and PS..we have clark material in now...and it is 13 oz.

<<Actually we have an evil plot to take over the world by selling lighter weight material.. see it works like this. first you get everybody in kilts, then you corner the market on Guiness beer and scotch, then comes the tricky part which involves getting mickey mouse elected president with goofy as Sec of State, we get a strangle hold on Quebec and cut off eastern canada until their supply of keith Beer is gone......

I wish The WIZARD of BC would just pony up, pay the couple of bucks to get some material, do a test himself

Can you tell us what you used to measure it on and did you toss on the whole piece

Please provide the exact type of scale used - model number and also provide the date it was last calibrated.

Was calibration performed by a certified calibrationologist and can you provide the calibration number

What was the humidty level at the time you measured it. was it raining or had it rained within the last 37 hours

have you now or at anytime in the past worked for any subversive organizations such as free the panda's

Was your ac running, was the temperature in the room above or below 72.6

<<All of the above said tongue in cheek>>

Off topic, but when I worked as an industrial instrument tech, I was actually a state certified scale mechanic. Any certified scale should have a calibration sticker, showing the calibration date, the date the next calibration is due and the name of the scale mechanic who calibrated the scale. A check of records at the calibration company should also show the certification for any check weights or test equipment used as well as the mechanic's certification certificate. Of course, I only did in plant calibrations, but this was our paper trail.

Give us a break Frugal Corner, we are not a industrial manufacturing organization, we are only making kilts on a one off basis, for ourselves or for another. You are sounding a little defensive, please try to understand that we are scottish, frugal like yourself, and want the best for our dollar.

I just saw this post, sorry to be coming to it so late, I just wanted to say the last time you guys tried that we burned your white house down, you really don't want any of this leave the Keith's alone and nobody gets hurt.

[Kilted-Marine]

well these plans are still in the preparation stage- we have had to revise them several times - we are now calling it preparation H and so far the plan feels good on the whole.

we will attack, unless you send us $1,000,000

muhaha

Heathbar,

Any update on this project? I'm considering some fabric for a casual kilt and am anxiously awaiting the reviews!

Hope all is well,

Actually I did a little more this morning before work. I added the backing to the inside of the pleats and added the liner on the inner apron. Next I'll add the liner to the pleats section and the waistband. I don't think I'm going to add a liner to the outer apron. This is not a traditional styled kilt, so I'm not too worried about its abscence. One thing I've noticed is that the cut ends unravel easily. This is most noticeable in the top of the waist, but this part will be covered with waistband.

Just don't touch the Beer, most Canadians wont notice if you don't touch the beer.
