Semi/Formal Xkilt?
I was planning on attending a Burns night in Cincy on the 25th. Got to thinking about what to wear when I remembered I just got a new black jacket at the goodwill I was gonna convert into a kilt jacket.
That got me to thinking about the black XKilt I made out of 65/35 poly cotton. Tried the two on together and it looked good. Even with the jacket as is.
I then proceeded to experiment by adding a 1/4" pleat tux shirt and bowtie with studs and links, and the Vest from uniformal and my battle axe pin from SK. Damn if I didn't look like a Scottish James bond (I'm no Sean of course but you get the image) Just need to fashion up some solid black flashes with the leftover fabric.
I'll post pics Saterday night hopefully. Tell me what you guys and gals think.
BTW, I still need a different sporran rather than go with my nylon nightstalker.
(Come to think of it this will be a great economical outfit.
Xkilt + flashes= homemade, fabric costs = >$12
Tux shirt=$10.95 uniformalwearhouse.com
Studs + links=$2.95uniformalwearhouse.com
Vest=$29.95 uniformalwearhouse.com
tie=$1.95 uniformalwearhouse.com
Hose=$12.00 SWK
Shoes= (I had) up to you
Kilt pin= $9.00 SK
Jacket= $2.50 Goodwill
TOTAL= $81.30 + still need a sporran)
