    Thanks for all the responses, although with all the back-and-forth, I hope nobody's feeling particularly anti-semantic at this point. Makes me feel less foolish about my initial confusion.

    I wonder if the different perspectives on maintenance offered by Woodsheal and Mr. Sushi are due to the different weights of their respective tartans. As I understand, the heavier weights maintain pleats and resist mussing better, yes?

    Yes, I would agree with that.

    LT,

    I asked Miss Greene the weight question when I ordered my MBP and was told that a heavier weight wool would hold the pleat,swing and also require less mantinence than a lighter weight wool.Also when I put the weight vs length question to the forum,heavy weight wool was the order of the day.

    But as I don't have one yet a grain of salt is proabably in order.

    Arrgh. More to think about. Maybe I'll do the Gunn repro in this style. Or, duh, maybe I should talk to my probable kilt maker. Now I'm using my brain.
