R'lyeh Sett Jonesin' Thread...

[Ryan Ross]

Ok, so my Jones is over. I'm a happy man.

But more importantly, Matt made one heck of an interesting kilt! I love the choice I made on the pleating, both in terms of the stripe used (sorry Matt) and the style of kilt.

And Matt's managed to do it again... by which I mean make a kilt that fits perfectly. Yeah yeah, I suppose it's a kilt maker's job to go by the measurements, but how he can make two (or in this case, essentially, FOUR) kilts EXACTLY the same size is beyond me... I mean, we have to be talking about differences of much less than 1/8th of an inch, here.

Ia!

Per pleat, old son, it's less than 1/32nd of an inch. Give the gentleman his due.

Imagine making a kilt with 25 pleats, and each one was off by 1 millimeter... Yup, you'd be off by ONE INCH.

Well done to the maker and the wearer!

Note that I never said that the 1/8th inch allowance would be in the pleat section, old bean. The final size of a kilt is, of course, fine tuned when attaching the buckles and straps. Matt seems to work within very tight tollerances, during that procedure.
