The Canvas Kilt
This is an inexpensive way out if you just cannot
afford a Kilt any other way. You can often find 5 yard pieces
of cotton duck canvas on eBay for around $20.00 US. Usually 60"
or more wide. So, you can split it down the length and make 2
Kilts. A bottle of Rit dye is about $3.50. So, that comes to
about $13.50 for a Kilt... OK, you may spend another buck for
a foot & a half of velcro.
Your local thrift store probably has lots of plaid
cowboy shirts. This one cost $1.00
Even if you don't wear it for Piping, this setup is
grand for hiking! Add a bigger Sporran or fanny pack, a pair
of hiking boots & an Aussie hat.
