Kilt Instructions Part 1 'The Fold'

[dogbone222]

I just grabbed one of my blue blankets and a belt. Sadly my family's badminton game was abruptly interrupted by a Sprint into the backyard :(.

I am not from Scotland but my family heritage is Welsh and Scottish. Seems like a lot of work to me! All that measuring, when you could just measure it by the length from your ankle to your knee! LOL

[MrJmacintyre]

What a faff. If you are going to show people how to wear a kilt learn to do it first! Shockin I am sure thats false advertising!

[Vampkiki]

@MrJmacintyre actually the "traditional kilt" we see now a days is the mockery...this is the historically accurate way to make the kilt...i'll have to see the part two to know if it was put on correctly...only exception is that the measuring was guestamates instead of a yard stick

I am fae Scotland and wear a philabeg weekly.

Christ man whit are ye doing wi the measuring stick?????????!!!!!! hehe

Yer definetly naw fae Scotland.

Im sure a highlander would have a measuring ruler or tape with him.

he used his body to measure... knee to ankle etc.

u can measure the apron from yir knee to yir anklewhen u kneel over it and as long as yir pleats are even it doenst quite matter how far apart the are from eachother as long as u have an even apron on the other side

it seems that the material is too light.remember that highlanders had only the kilt to keep warm so really the wool would vhave been heavy and dense.the wind would not blow it around as it does here to this material.

[Martennl]

@domhanda I could imagine that normally a highlander would do all actions inside... to protect the family jewels from the harsh weather conditions in Scotland...

[mouthforwar17]

@domhanda trust me the material is not light...if its a good kilt...its made out of wool so its heavy cloth

[BronzDragonfly]

@domhanda Like the Spartans, they would adapt with what they had. The man whose woman is a skilled spinner is sure to have better than a purse full of silver and gold.

[hessianbob]

where can i buy tartan material to do this? It has got to be wool though!

[jfcash84]

should have given the poor chaps some leggings or something to keep warm in the wind.

[xiala1980]

If he was that worried, he would have gotten them himself.

[ItachiUchiha2010]

this wasnt done inside why?
