    XMarks tartan made to box pleat

    I was too broke to participate in the XMarks tartan order this year, but it seems there is some fabric available. I have been thinking about getting some and having a someone make a boc pleated kilt for me from it. Any recommendations on who I should go to?

    As Barb states above, either her or Matt. The problem with those two choices is that they are both excellent so my suggestion is to have each of them make you one.

    I think it should also be pointed out that the XMTS fabric is MM PV and not wool.
    I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…

    Bit of a hijack here, but I'm thinking about turning my six yards into a double box pleat...

    And for that you should ask Lady Chrystel.
