Has anyone else tried making a kilt like that?
I'm going to sew on steel "D's" at the beltloops on the front to clip a sporran made of the same material to. A place for the cell phone, keys, wallet, pipe, matches, tobacco, whatever.
On a somewhat related note. I cannot wear a sleeved jacket for my work (pm me and I'll tell you what I do) and so have worn insulated vests etc and nearly froze in the winters. I made a winter cape and maching flat cap for myself out of a denimy look cotton stripy material (think "engineers overall" look - train driver) and will be wearing it to a plouging match on Thurs, after that it will become regular work wear for me. The wearing of a cape is very rare around here, and it may come off as feminine, I hope not, as it is manly looking fabric. The matching cap might make me appear foppish...I don't know. geez... Why do guys have to be ugly and stereotypically badly dressed to be perceived as "normal"? I go to great effort to make myself a matching outfit to wear to work and then worry that it will come off as a little boy who had his mother dress him...

Anyhow to the kilt now.
