Message to Stillwater kilts
To stillwater kilts and forum members,
I am posting this here fore member feedback and if and when SWK personell come to the board they see this message and perhaps go with it.
In another post I have suggested that SWK start making a box pleat alternative, and there are a few bonuses to doing so.
Box pleating is perhaps the first style of pleating that was used when kilts became a tailored garment
Kilts made with a limited ammount of yardage look better than a knife pleated kilt when it comes to the number of pleats. I'm my case knife pleating on a kilt for bigger (heavier) guys does not look that good when kiltmakers use a limited amount of fabric.
I also believe I have read that box pleating actually uses on average less fabrick than knife pleating
So to sum up the bonuses of box pleating for a kiltmaking company that is already affordable to the men on the ground
1. Historical
2. Better for big guys
3. More economical to make
Now, for some feedback from xmarks members...
