I went and did it....
I just pulled the trigger on 4 meters of Isle Of Skye in Marton Mills PV. My intent is to render it into a respectable kilt as guided by The Art of Kiltmaking. This will be kilt #4 but the first kand sewn. Nervous doesn't even begin to describe me right now.
"The Highland dress is essentially a 'free' dress, -- that is to say, a man's taste and circumstances must alone be permitted to decide when and where and how he should wear it... I presume to dictate to no man what he shall eat or drink or wherewithal he shall be clothed." -- The Hon. Stuart Ruaidri Erskine, The Kilt & How to Wear It, 1901.
