I'm totally scoobied on this one, as what I was planning apparently falls 'out of synch' with how most kilts are made. I'm building my 4 yard box and Kingussie kilts out of 13 and 16 oz fabric, respectively, which matters little, but figured I'd put it in perspective...

Biggest question I have is in regard to the proper waistband. My plan was to take the excess 8 or so inches of fabric from between the selvedges I used (2 - 2 1/2 yards double width fabric), turn a lip under each side, and fold over the top, leaving me a nice, smooth 3" wide band to which I could then sew the belt loops / sporran holders. From what I'm seeing, though, there are not many (or any) kilts finished like this. Even Hector Russell looks like they only put on about a 1/2 - 3/4" band, and that seems to be what I'm seeing all around?!?

Any input on this one?
