A Question for the Kiltmakers
... and for anyone else who has some good input.
Could a blanket like this one, cut in half lengthways and sewn end-to-end, be used to make a kilt? That would provide a 27" by 4 yd strip of material. With a 34" waist, 41" hips, and 24" hip-to-knee measurement, that should be enough material, shouldn't it?
Next question - am I just crazy, slightly crazy, off my rocker, or full-blown NUTS to even consider this idea?;) I'll admit to embracing the stereotype of the tight-fisted, penny-pinching, pry-the-wallet-open-to-get-money-out Scot, so I find the idea of getting the material for a (very-)heavyweight 4-yd kilt for just $50 very appealing. BUT if you all can give me some good reasons not to consider this ... well, Scots are stereotypically practical too.
