I finally gathered the tartan together and took them to the local kilt maker and had them made up into 3 new kilts (took about 2 weeks). On one of the kilts I noticed the pleats were uneven in size. Some are as deep as 4" and some only as deep as 2 1/2". The other kilts are evenly pleated.

The kilt in question is a MacPhearson (large sett) kilt and I am assuming they did it this way so there would be more pleats and less yardage. Is this a normal way to make kilts of large sets?

BTW the set is about 13 1/2". It is interesting to only have the set once on the front apron.

I will include pictures when I can figure out how to include them.
