I have finally figured out why the pleats on my amerikilt get the happy wanders and sometimes have a directional problem after I have been sitting.
After reading Jimmy's post on the plain kilts he has made and the way he makes them, I measured the pleats and realised my kilt has a 3 inch reveal with only a 2 inch under (or hidden not sure which is right term)pleat!!! Deffinately going to ensure that my next kilt (whether made or bought dosent have that. Am I right in assuming that the deeper the hidden and smaller reveal = more pleat control???? As Jimmy said he does a 4inch pleat witha 1 inch reveal.
Cheers to all Andrew
