enough material?

Is 3.5 meters x 56" enough to make a box pleat for 37" waist? Thanks for any help

I think it would be, as it is double width cloth.

Considering it would 7 metres once split, it is more than enough. Depending on your hip size, you might even be able to make two kilts from the same length.

Oh yes - more than enough!! Have you found our box pleat instructions at

They are a free download, and the instructions lay out all of the info for what you need, etc.

Unless you are extremely tall and need a total kilt drop of 28 inches or more, you should be fine. Might not work for somebody like Shaquille O'Neill.
