Kilts Night At Doolin's Pub

This time, I did not want to advocate hosiery. I wore it for myself, but some stealthy stuff happened. Read the remainder of the blog entry.

Kilts Night At Doolin's Pub

Doolin's Pub has an event, called Kilts Night, every first Thursday, of every month. I wore my red tartan kilt, a pair of grey wool socks, a pair of black flashes, and a pair of skin coloured sheer hosiery. Read the remainder of the blog entry for the details.

Used Hosiery: Sewing Nylon And Spandex

I tried a technique to sew together some hosiery. Basically I cut off sections of a leg of hosiery, and then sewed the ends together to make 2 simple garters to hold up my flashes, when I wear a kilt or shorts.

Overall, I'm very happy about how it turned out for a garter, but I'm a little disappointed in how hard it is to sew nylon and spandex materials. I have a big respect for people sew hosiery. It's a lot harder than it looks. I'm sure that it takes training and practice before the people can work on the actual products. I'm also sure that a lot of it is done by machine, too.

So far, I've tried 2 techniques. The first technique didn't allow the nylon to stretch. The second technique didn't allow it to shorten.

I Finished Making A Pair Of Kilt Flashes

Now that I have made a pair of kilt flashes, I feel that I'll be a bit more complete, if I wear my black kilt. Also, I could use the flashes with my black shorts. I just wish that it was easier to make the flashes. Making such a low quality product seems like such a waste of time.

I Finished Making My Kilt!

It's about time. I just finished it about 10 minutes ago.

There were a lot of mistakes, and I'm sure that I'll do better next time. Near the end of the project, it got to the point where it was getting tedious, and I began to drag my feet, because I didn't know how to ensure that it would turn out okay. There was nothing that I could do to ensure that it would turn out better than the way that it is. This was my first kilt project, and I just had to accept the fact that experience would be the best teacher, and that I would have to learn the hard way.

I'll try to get some photos for you all, in the next 2 weeks. I just need to get my camera set up.

I'll probably go back to the sewing machine, after this, and make some flashes.

For those of you just joining us: I wanted to make a kilt, to help draw positive attention to the fashion trend of mainstream heterosexual men wearing shorts and hosiery [i.e. pantyhose, tights]. Typically, I wear my shorts and hosiery without a kilt. I hope to wear a kilt with socks and flashes, and hosiery underneath it all. I think that a kilt could be a very masculine part of it all.
