Questions & Pics of my New Seaforth Box

[truckie561]

Let me start off by stating, that I don't post too often on the forum, because I know there is not a lot I can contribute to the discussion. But, I do tune in, close to, every day to see what's going on, to pick up tips, or to research questions I have. And a question is what brings me here now.
I scored a great Seaforth Military Box Pleat off of eBay two weeks ago, which just came in. It wasn't advertised as a box pleated kilt, but it was a pleasant surprise as all my other kilts are knife pleated. It can use a good pressing to get the pleats in better shape and the buckle tabs are a little rough, but what I didn't notice until I put the kilt on is that the aprons are reversed on this kilt. If I'm using the wrong terminology...what I mean is that the outer apron buckles to my left hip and not my right.
To cut to the chase, is this normal to find with the authentic military box pleated kilts or could the aprons have been switched at some point? Also, looking at the pics, the tartan doesn't seem to line up correctly at the outer apron edge. I'm able to buckle the kilt to the tightest setting , which makes it really snug, but it still doesn't pick up the pattern of the tartan like it should at the overlap....could be too small?? I'm probably not describing this accurately and since you guys are always picture hungry, let me feed you.
Any help is greatly appreciated....the more I look at the pics, the more I'm thinking that the kilt might be a bit small for me...but why can I tighten it all the way down? Let me know what you guys think.


Jeez!!Why so serious??

Not sure what these numbers mean.
